Mokele Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I'm suprised this hasn't actually been posted here yet. Google's new scholarly search engine I tried it out, and was delighted; I immediately found several papers I'd been after. It's still in beta, and doesn't give full-text access to all articles (but does for a fair few), but it's still awesome! Try it out!

Skye Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Looks pretty useful. It'd be great if there were a way to select for full text articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 yeah, you just get the website where it is mentioned, you dont actually get the full text stuff which is VERY annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophiolite Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Brilliant. 43,800 hits for basalt. Although several returned a 'page cannot be found' there was not apparent rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perennial Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Appears worthwhile, even with some tough keys was able to come up with some viable alternatives ... found couple of own papers as evidence of it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Thanks for the tip, that website look really useful. It's a pain to find desired journals in regular google, theres way to much "noise." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokele Posted December 5, 2004 Author Share Posted December 5, 2004 And remember, it's in beta, so any problem you have or requests (like a way to search for full-text only) can be emailed to google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badchad Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Seems decent. I didn't think it was superior to medline however (at least for the subjects I usually search for). Still needs a way to search by author and/or year of publication etc. I wonder how this particular search engine works. Usually for online journals the author selects a few keywords which will result in a "hit". I wonder if it searches by number of links or whatever the same way normal google does.

bloodhound Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I see they nicked Newton's words as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokele Posted December 7, 2004 Author Share Posted December 7, 2004 The funny thing is, iirc, those words were an insult. At one point, Hooke and Newton got into it, Hooke claiming Newton had stolen his work. Newton said "If I have seen farther than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants" because Hooke was apparently quite short. So basically, their motto is a snide insult by Newton.

bloodhound Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 yes , thats rite except i think Hooke wasnt short but had a back problem, which made him stoop and made him appear short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Maybe the back problem came about after Newton tried to clamber onto his shoulders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auk Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 LOL. I really enjoy using Google Scholar thanks. I've had the enjoyment of passing the word unto others. Does anyone know when the real version is going to come out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSX Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Blah All the papers I want go to Pubmed, which then takes me to ScienceDirect, which then wants me to pay! I found a good site for papers though: http://carcin.oupjournals.org/ There's other categories too. Does anyone have any other sites that have FREE online papers? In particular, papers dealing with the maths and physics of radiation backscatter? Thanks in advance, if you have any ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed84c Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Well you CAN get sciencedirect ones for free if you run them through a uni proxy. Any body wants to know how, and you can have my password, send me a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
