Google Scholar: Books

Google Scholar’s strength lies in the fact that it not only indexes journal articles but also books, book chapters and other non-traditional sources such as promotional pages, table of contents pages, course reading lists etc. Caveats:Google Scholar is not as accurate as Scopus since it cannot remove self-citations and may include multiple entries for one work which can inflate results.
