Google adds new search engine for scholars

Google has launched a new search engine that specifically focus on the needs of scholars and scientists.

The Google Scholar index is based on a subset of the regular Google index. This service enables you to search specifically for "scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research."

The search algorithm is apparently a little bit different from the regular one.

There is also a special search query syntax rule to be learned. If you want to find a specific article it is best to combine a search phrase (in quotes) with the last name of the article's first author: author:einstein "theory of relativity".

If a search result is marked [citation], that means that Google has found a reference, but that the article is not available on the open Web. This also applies to books. Some of the articles will not be available for free on the Web.

For the time being the service will not include Google Adword text ads.
