There are many tools for searching for scholarly research articles. We will preview Google Scholar here. Your team, however, may choose to use different tools.
Google Scholar is free to use but will only provide full text for many articles if you connect it to the library and are logged in with your UTORid. Before running your search in Google Scholar, go to Google Scholar Settings and set your university affiliation. You can get detailed instructions on how to do that here.
Google Scholar ranks documents by considering the text of each document, where it was published, who wrote it, and how often and how recently it has been cited in scholarly publications.

Google Scholar gives you access to articles you won’t always find in Google. As well, it gives you easy access to information about how often an article is cited and what articles cite it. In some cases, you can also view a listing of other publications by the authors of the original article, including a record of the number of citations for each of those publications.
