For more refined searches, Google Scholar offers advanced search options. Access these by clicking on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) on the top left of the homepage and selecting “Advanced search.” This feature allows you to:
Search for exact phrases: Use quotation marks around phrases to find exact matches. For instance, “global warming effects.”
Exclude words: Use the minus sign to exclude words from your search. For example, “renewable energy -solar.”
Specify authors: Find works by specific authors by typing their names in the author field.
Define a date range: Limit your search to articles published within a specific time frame.
Search by publication: Enter the name of a journal or conference to find articles published in that source.
