Scientific Trip: Visit to DUKAN-2 Water Treatment Plant
Assistant Professor Dr. Lway Faisal Abdulrazak, head of the Computer Science Department at Cihan University Sulaymaniyah presented a seminar about google scholar’s importance for researchers as a search engine. Moreover, a discussion followed on how fast this search engine is, the large number of results that it would return searching for scientific issues, most results are sorted according to relevance, they are on the first page, and most importantly, it is free.
It is well known that google scholar is designed to locate scholarly information, including peer-reviewed articles, theses, books, preprints, abstracts, and court opinions from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities, and other Web sites. Launched in 2004, It provides a simple way to search for scholarly literature; from one place broadly, a user can search across many disciplines and sources. It allows users to search for digital or physical copies of articles. It relies primarily on keyword searching to return relevant results.
Google Scholar returns the most relevant results first, based on an item’s full text, author, source, and the number of times it has been cited in other sources. Google Scholar will not necessarily get to the full text of every search result. The retrieval is organized by relevancy ranking rather than reverse chronology; older results may appear first.
Web of Knowledge (Web of Science) is one platform for access to factual content and powerful tools that let user search, track, measure, and collaborate in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities also discussed in detail during Dr.Lway Faisal’s presentation. Held an excellent comparison to clarify the importance of Scopus as the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature and quality web sources with smart tools to track, analyze and visualize research.
Cihan University Sulaimaniya emphasized the importance of having a google scholar account for all academic staff.
