Additional Tips

  • Limit the results on the left side using the Any Time date ranges.
  • Found something in Google Scholar but there’s no “Get it! @Brock”? Pop the title into SuperSearch to double check.
  • Cite by #: at the bottom of each item in the results is a link to the articles that cited that item. Explore this to find more sources!
