To overcome barriers, he decided to just create a site and get started trying to help. He turned to his brother, Adam, who is a younger, digital native, with technical skills. Adam used his skills to develop the site and found a web host. Soon, Jason's wife, Jodie, joined the team to start populating the site with videos and help improve the communication.

 Search Tips 

You can increase the accuracy and effectiveness of your searches on Google Scholar by adding "operators" that fine-tune your search terms.

Author search

If you know who wrote the paper you're looking for, you can simply add their last name to your search terms.If you are looking for papers on the subject of regression written by people named Richard. If you want to search on an author's full name, or last name and initials, enter the name in quotes: ["Richard"].

To find papers by Richard, you could try [author:"Richard"]

Other Operators

Google Scholar also supports most of the advanced operators in Google web search: 

• the "+" operator makes sure your results include common words, letters or numbers that Google's search technology generally ignores, as in [+Richard]; 

• 
  the "-" operator excludes all results that include this search term, as in [nanotube -author:ajayan]; 
• phrase search only returns results that include this exact phrase, as in ["as you like it"]; 
  the "OR" operator returns results that include either of your search terms, as in [stock call OR put]; 
  
• The "intitle:" operator as in [intitle:mars] only returns results that include your search term in the document's title.
