What are the differences between Google Scholar and Academic Databases?
Academic databases are collections of journal articles , white papers, industry reports, datasets, and more. Databases focus on specific disciplines or fields and have powerful filtering tools that allow for limiting by date, subject, language, etc.
Google Scholar is also a searchable collection of published works; books, journals and grey literature but does not contain the robust filtering tools that a database does. However, Google Scholar covers almost all disciplines and subjects.
