The Library catalogue and academic databases use something called a truncation symbol to retrieve various endings on a word "stem". Google Scholar doesn't recognize truncation symbols. Instead, it uses automatic stemming, and looks for the word you type in, plus any additional letters on the end of that word. Scholar now does appear to search automatically for synonyms related to the words in your search strategy. By default Google looks for the synonyms of your search word. << Previous: Results from Academic Databases Google Scholar, Reference ./cache/uregina-libguides-com-6702.html ./txt/uregina-libguides-com-6702.txt
