Considering the amount of new researches published everyday, it is quite difficult to find relevant studies every time we need them. However, technology is here to help. The first step is to somehow use technology to organize the content available.<\/span><\/p>\n

Google usually works with words from titles and abstracts, so thinking about characteristic words of your studying field is a good way to start.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scholar Google also gives you the option to follow the authors you find interesting. New papers or citations, you can get updated on everything about the author of your choice. However, make sure the author profile exists on Google Scholar – this is the only defect of this tool.<\/span><\/p>\n
