Use the “Cite” tool to correctly format citations: Google Scholar provides ready-to-use citations for articles in various styles such as APA, MLA, and Chicago. This can help students correctly cite their sources and avoid plagiarism2.

Use the “Related Articles” feature to find additional research related to specific search results: This feature can help students find more papers similar to one they found helpful2.

Search for articles by a particular author: If students find a researcher whose work is particularly relevant to their topic, they can search for other articles by the same author2.

Find academic sources and save the links to “My library” within Scholar: This feature allows students to save useful articles to their personal library in Google Scholar for easy access later2.
