Registration in the Google Scholar Account

The Google Scholar is an easy tool for comprehensive searches of research works needed by researchers and scholars. From one place, you can search across numerous scientific fields and information sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts, and articles from academic publishers, specialized associations, preprint repositories, universities, and other research institutions. Google Scholar helps you identify the most relevant scientific research related to your field in the world of scholarly research.

Advantages of Google Scholar:

• Search diverse sources from one convenient location.

• Find research papers, abstracts, and publication information.

• Access full research papers via the library or the web.

• Identify key research in any field of scientific inquiry.

It is worth mentioning that the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research required registration on Google Scholar, considering it one of the requirements for academic promotion starting from May 3, 2015, instead of the Virtual Library. This means relying on research from this platform for scientific studies.

To facilitate the registration and search process on these research platforms, the website of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences has provided comprehensive steps for searching and registering, including:

• An instructional video on how to create a new account on Google (Gmail), then activate the Google Scholar service directly.

• A demonstration of how to benefit from the service through searching scientific articles, managing research papers, reviewing citations, and finally utilizing the advanced search feature on the site.
