Google Scholar - search for research papers, books, theses, and more!

Google Scholar enables you to search specifically for peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research. Google Scholar returns results from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories and universities, as well as scholarly articles.

Google Scholar orders your search results (just like regular Google) by how relevant they are to your search. The ranking is created from the full text of each article, the article’s author, the publication in which the article appeared, and how often it has been cited in other articles. The search results may include citations of older works and seminal articles that appear only in books or offline publications. Multiple hyperlinks are included if the article appears on several web sites.

I used Google Scholar to search for "Software Engineering" - the URL for the search is http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=software+engineering&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&btnG=Search

The search results included Software Engineering books, HTML, PDF, and PostScript documents, and a count of how citations that refer to the entry. Clicking on the citation link (which includes the count) will bring up a list of additional articles that reference the article. Some of the results were:

    [BOOK] Object-Oriented Software Engineering: A Use Case Driven Approach by Jacobson, Christerson, Jonsson, and Overgaard.

    [PDF]No Silver Bullet: Essence and Accidents of Software Engineering, PDF version of the 15 page article by Fred Brooks, author of must have book, The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering, 20th Anniversary Edition. This article was cited in 719 other indexed articles.

    [CITATION] A Methodology for Collecting Valid Software Engineering Data by Basili and Weiss.

Google Scholar has now replaced Google on my personal home page. You should consider changing your search link to use Googal Scholar too.  You can find Google Scholar at http://scholar.google.com/.
