Vast Range of Topics, but with Frequent Paywalls
Tips:
- Finding an article that doesn't have a paywall but is Open Access (free and immediately available) is hit-or-miss. Be patient!
- Citing an article from Google Scholar is easiest when it has a doi (permanent web address). In NoodleTools, select Website -> Journal, and use Smart Import next to the doi field after pasting it in.
- Downloading the article is normally the best way to read articles from Google Scholar. You can add the file to your citation as an Attachment in NoodleTools.
