Google Scholar results will typically show the title of an article or book as a hyperlink with author and publisher information below. Each entry will also show Google's links for the result.
The link for "Related Articles" will show similar results to the title using Google's algorithm. These could include articles with similar keywords, authors, subjects, or abstracts.
If you are signed in with your UCM email address, you will also be able to click the double arrow icon under the result to see Resources @ My Library or Request through UCM. These links will take you back to the UCM Interlibrary Loan request or the UCM library catalog, respectively.
When conducting literature reviews, sometimes keywords and phrases won't return all relevant results. This is where the concept of "citation chaining" or "citation linking" can be helpful.
Google Scholar's "Cited by" feature shows you newer articles that cite the work you are looking at. This means a plethora of newer articles related to your topic in some way!
The number after "Cited by" can indicate an article's significance in a field, as many scholars have found it worthy to cite in their own work. But be careful! The number of citations or "Cited by" in a given article can still appear large for articles with retractions or other issues. Always review cited articles and evaluate their credibility before including in your own research.
