2. Refine your results with Microsoft Academic Search

Numerous related services complete your search. They allow you to refine your results.

Like any other tool for searching scientific publications, MS Academic Search lets you obtain a list of publications based on one or more keywords.

You can perform a general search, or specify that you are only interested in results for a particular author, conference, journal or organization. You can also choose to display only results from a certain period or corresponding to a specific bibliography reference.

The results obtained can then be classified according to year, number of citations, or a score parameter, the rank.
