Google scholar takes searching for articles to another, higher level. The features of this tool allow you to search for journals, legal documents and patents across the internet. It is even possible to access the freely available articles as these are listed as PDF or HTML files on the right side of the screen.

Other great features are the ability to access scholarly articles via Google docs; simply highlight the word or subject in the doc, right click and click on research, then find scholar in the drop down menu. A new search pane opens with the scholar results to the side of the doc. Easy. Want to know whether an article has validity? Check the number of citations, and if you want you can see what these other articles are about by following the links. Full citations can be generated easily using the 'cite' function, and the format of this can be set by the user. A complete citation list can be generated and footnotes can be added to work, saving all of that boring rewriting of references. Citations are also easily exported to citation managers.
Overall, a useful tool to manage those higher applications.
