Top Academic Search Engines for Research

What is Academic Search Engine?

• The academic search engine provides search
  results by localizing the scientific results
  required by the user. There are various types of
  search engines with different characteristics.
  The engines are preferred based on the required
  results. Through the academic search engine,
  users can access various journals, blogs, and
  magazines relevant to their input queries. For a
  long time, the academic search engines are
  assisting manuscript writers, researchers, and
  scholars. It also helps in reviewing the latest
  technologies and researches in the concerned
  field.

How Searching Through General Search Engine and
Academic Search Engine Different?
4

• While general search engine searches from the
  whole of the database that includes both relevant
  and irrelevant articles while academic search
  engine only searched through predefined journals,
  reviews, and abstracts.
• General search engines do not provide the quality
  and standard of results while many academic
  search engines have the option for determining
  the quality of the research.

5

• It is difficult to narrow the results on a
  general search engine in context to a topic while
  it is relatively easier in the academic search
  engine.
• The search results of general search engines are
  not organized and lack advanced search options
  that are available in almost all academic search
  engines.
• The databases available in academic search
  engines are further subdivided into the
  specialized database, a facility that is not
  available in general search engines.

Why Academic Search Engines are Required?

• Organized data The data is indexed and organized
  in the academic search engine. This helps the
  researchers to avoid irrelevant information. The
  data is structured based on relevance and
  according to the most common search criteria.
• Authentic articles Most search engines provide
  authentic and reliable research articles. Many of
  the search engines have access to various
  libraries that feed them with relevant and
  high-quality articles.

7

• Quality reviewed Many search engines have their
  quality control team that assigns the quality
  grade to articles. This is of immense importance
  as many-a-time, the researchers require the
  articles published in journals with high impact
  factors.
• Easy access As compared to a general search
  engine, the user experience in searching the
  research articles is favorable in academic search
  engines. For instance, if a researcher searches
  an article about a disease or drug, the general
  search engine provides both relevant and
  irrelevant articles.
