Hi people from the internet!! I'm Sofia and this is The Biologist Apprentice And today you have a list of academic search engines that not everyone knows, which will help you to have more alternatives than just google when searching for information, because I know that when you are a student you need to get everything good, pretty and cheap I mean FREE because I know sometimes you do not know whether to save money to eat or to make photocopies of the books in the library, or simply to go back home. yes, I know when you are an student you are poor because I was... wait, I left university and I'm still poor, well that's another topic And occasionally it is good to have more options if you need is to find specific information of an area or a specific topic, in this case scientific articles, and especially that are open access.....I mean free. The first one is google Schoolar, This site allows you to search specialized information from many disciplines and sources in various formats such as theses, books, abstracts or articles. It also allows you to check out the references of texts or see who cites the article to keep track and trace more citations related. Youtube Education, It is automatically generated Youtube channel where you can find resources to supplement video support research, homework or just to learn something new. In this channel we can find the most popular videos Youtube with exclusively educational content, like this channel. Reef Seek, Still in beta, it is a search engine for students or researchers seeking information required by more than one billion documents, including web pages, books, encyclopedias, magazines and newspapers RefSeek offers the advantage of simplicity in their search results to increase the visibility of academic information Scientific Electronic Library Online, Scielo is a model for cooperative electronic publishing of scientific journals on the Internet. this is like a set of articles developed to give visibility and access to scientific literature is carried out especially in Latin America and the Caribbean It also has the support of foundations and international institutions related to scientific communication Science Research, It is a search engine that provides quality results by sending real-time query, to other search engines recognized then collate, sort and delete duplicates of that search.

This platform discriminates and picks the original source or paper and this is so cool, for specific research world wide science, it's a site consisting of databases and national and international scientists seeking content portals worldwide It has a multi-language search platform in real time in which the user can enter a query in a particular language and the query is translated and sent to each of the portals and databases World Wide Science. The search results are displayed in the order of relevance and can be translated into any language in this case is an excellent resource for people who doesn't speak english or french according with the type of information in this case biology papers are always in english and it's a great option NCBS, This is a platform that I used the most, and gave me access to information National Center for Biotechnology Information It is the backup for the information on molecular biology, this platform helped me when I was working on a biotechnology lab, the information is really good funded by the US government, this site gives you access to public databases and other references, such as scientific articles on biomedicine, biotechnology, biochemistry and genetics, this database It includes GenBank, which is the space that stores and updates the information regarding DNA sequences which I think is fantastic for works on systematics and align DNA sequences this is a great option other of my favorite sites to get information and free papers is Elsevier It is the largest publisher of medical books and scientific literature of the world, The target markets are academic and government research institutions, corporate research labs, booksellers, librarians, scientific researchers, authors and editors Elsevier include other sites like VIRTUALE, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Scirus, EMBASE, Engineering Village, Compendex, Cell, SciVal and Analytical Services.

ScienceDirect is from Elsevier, the platform for online access to their journals and more than 6,000 electronic books, reference works, handbooks and book series. Items are grouped into four main sections: Physical and Engineering, Life Sciences, Health Sciences, and Social Sciences and Humanities For most items on the website, the abstracts are available; access to the full text of the article in PDF, often requires a subscription or pay, but there are many that are free but if you are an student probably your university is subscribed to this platforms so go to university and ask for the access to this sites, and that's easier way to download as many papers as you want, in fact I discover that in my last year at the university, and I didn't need it anymore so that's the suggestion, so go an ask about it so now you know about this sites, there's a lot of options besides google to search for information, I hope this sites helps you, from a biologist to a future biologists, or professionals who watch this videos if you know more sites you can put them in the comment section so that's it for this video, all sites that I mentioned are down below in the comment section, don't forget to follow me on my social networks, see ya on the next video, thanks for everything, bye!.
