Google Scholar

Ottawa, ON, March 23, 2009 – NRC Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information (NRC-CISTI) is meeting the research community where they work through our new collaboration with Google Scholar. Researchers from Canada and anywhere in the world now have access to millions of scientific, technical and medical (STM) journal articles from NRC-CISTI's Discover collection through Google Scholar, part of the world's most used search engine. Discover provides an immediate payment and download service, meeting the demands of the fast-paced research environment.

In line with Canada's Science and Technology strategy as well as Science at Work for Canada, NRC's strategy, NRC-CISTI continues to improve access to STM information for Canadian research and innovation. We continue to provide value-added service by including open access content in the metadata crawled by Google Scholar.

This is an early release in collaboration with Google. We will adapt it over time according to your feedback. We would like to hear from you if you have suggestions for improvements or if you encounter performance issues. NRC researchers using Google Scholar will either be able to download the article immediately using Discover or will be directed to other document provision services.

Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations. Google Scholar helps you identify the most relevant research across the world of scholarly research.

NRC-CISTI, Canada's national science library and leading scientific publisher, provides Canada's research and innovation community with tools and services for accelerated discovery, innovation and commercialization.
