Google Scholar has a 265 character limit. To check if your search is too long, run the search and go to the end of the string. If it is all there, your string fits. Otherwise, you will need to shorten it. A pipe (|) character can replace OR in the query to be shorter.
| How Do I ...? | Answer |
|---|---|
| Incorporate IFPRI's holdings into my Google Scholar results? |
Go to Google Scholar settings. Navigate to the library links. Search for IFPRI, add it. Affiliated with a university? Add that one too!
|
| Narrow my results when I search a title, but there are too many results? | Instead of searching for food security, try "The State, Agricultural Policies and Food Security in Ghana" |
| Sign up for an alert? I want to stay as up-to-date on my publications/field as possible. |
Start a search for what you would like to receive alerts. At the bottom of the left column, click on "Create alert." Make any corrections to your search and confirm the alert.
