Seaching in Google Scholar
- It says the search best with keywords, but I’ve often had good luck typing in all kinds of stuff
- No peer review filter
- No filter for empirical articles
- It helps to look for the journal name under the title in each result
- The cite tool works well, but you still need to check it against a style guide
