I came across a video discussing how to use Google Scholar more efficiently, for the best and quickest results. In the video he suggested when searching for your information try to use phrases or terms to bring up more accurate results. Using “AND” / “OR” between the searched terms to have a better variety of results for an upcoming essay or research. For example, you are searching for articles that pertain to global cites . A useful search using similar terminology would be “Global OR Metropolitan OR Cosmopolitan AND cities OR City” . This is just one useful tip on using google scholar to find journal articles.
