Using Google Scholar
1. Full Text
One of the best reasons to use Google Scholar is to look up the full text of articles. To find full text for an article, the best method is usually to copy and paste the article's full title into the Google Scholar search box, then search for it.
2. Citation Chains
Articles in Google Scholar usually have a "Cited By" link in the results page. Click on this link to find articles that used this article in their bibliographies. This is a great way both to find sources related to an article, and to see an article's impact on other researchers.
3. Advanced Features
Access Advanced Search options by clicking the triangle in the search box at scholar.google.com
