Google vs Google scholar
Les moteurs de recherche grand public, (tels que Google, Yahoo ou

Bing) sont utiles mais pas forcément toujours très fiables.
Si ces outils ont pour vocation première « d’organiser les

informations à l'échelle mondiale pour les rendre accessibles et
utiles à tous » (si l’on se fie à ce que Google prétend), ils sont
surtout conçus pour nous fournir le plus grand nombre de résultats
et répondent aux lois du marché.
De ce fait, la manière dont ils organisent et hiérarchisent les

informations ne s’inscrit pas nécessairement dans une logique
académique. Il faut donc être conscient du fait que les informations
qu’ils recensent sont d’une qualité très inégale (on y trouvera aussi
bien des articles académiques que des propos invérifiables et
subjectifs), provenant de sources innombrables (qu’il s’agisse
d’institutions reconnues, de site commerciaux ou faisant la
promotion d’intérêts particuliers), et déclinées sous des formes très
diverses (wiki, encyclopédie en ligne, forum, blog, réseaux sociaux,
etc.).
Si ce type de moteurs de recherche peut constituer un bon point de

départ, il faut aussi être conscient du fait que cette étape peut être
chronophage et pourra vous noyer dans une surabondance
d’informations.
Pour accéder plus directement à des sources académiques et limiter

votre recherche aux publications scientifiques, Google Scholar est
un allié intéressant.
A condition de l’utiliser de manière efficace grâce à ces quelques

astuces de recherche avancée :
• Rechercher dans le titre du document avec intitle:
• Rechercher dans les noms des auteurs avec author:
• Exclure des termes de la recherche avec – (équivalent de Sauf ou,
en anglais, NOT)
• Restreindre à une expression exacte avec les guillemets " "
N’oublions pas que la recherche scientifique mondiale est

majoritairement en anglais et donc qu’il conviendra de traduire vos
mots-clés.
Vous devrez toujours compléter cette recherche en utilisant les

outils de recherche spécialisés. Google Scholar n’est bien entendu
pas le seul moyen de trouver de la documentation scientifique.
