Google Scholar Search Results

Google scholar has more reliable sources that a regular Google search . The reliable sources here are usually written by journalists, scholars, or professionals and reviewed before publication, but always double-check. A university or publisher’s site is more trustworthy than a personal blog, and even “scholarly” sources can have mistakes. Verify citations and links before you use them.
