Véronique MESGUICH: Strategic intelligence consultant and trainer
INTRODUCTION
The world of scientific publication has changed considerably in recent years. Traditional databases of scientific articles have been joined by new open archive spaces, such as Hal. Engines such as Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar enable searches of scientific and technical content, not only in the form of journal articles, but also theses and patents.
Google Scholar offers a wide range of scientific research and monitoring functions that are often overlooked. However, this tool is not without its limitations, and there are risks and problems inherent in its use.
This fact sheet will give you an idea of how Google Scholar works and how you can benefit from it.
