Google Scholar

Research paper finder

Google Scholar is a freely accessible search engine that indexes scholarly literature—journal articles, theses, books, conference papers, and court opinions.

Researchers use it to find academic sources and track citations: I found three relevant papers on Google Scholar.

It provides citation counts and links to full texts when available, making it a standard starting point for academic research.
