What is Google Scholar?

Google Scholar is a free academic search engine that indexes scholarly literature, including articles, theses, books, conference papers, and patents. It enables researchers and academics to discover relevant research, monitor citations, and track the impact of their work. A well-optimized Google Scholar profile can significantly enhance your research visibility and citation count, making it an essential tool for academic success.

How to Optimize Your Google Scholar Profile
