How do I use Google Scholar?
Google does not share how it ranks items. Google Scholar does say: "[it] aims to sort articles the way researchers do, weighing the full text of each article, the author, the publication in which the article appears, and how often the piece has been cited in other scholarly literature."
We do not know everything that Google Scholar includes. This means you might not find everything on your topic here.
To expand your search try clicking these links: "Cited By" (works that cited this article) and "Related Articles" (articles on the same or a similar subject).
Try to only use first initials when searching for author names. Many articles only include the first initial of the author.
To search for a specific paper, put the paper's title in quotations: "Communication of Innovations; A Cross-Cultural Approach.
