(But a shoutout also for DA as a tool for finding, aggregating, and sorting relevant Wikipedia articles in a single synoptic document – I don’t know any other tool that can scrape Wikipedia so usefully.) I think I probably speak for all academics when I say that PubMed is in a league of its own as a DA-friendly resource and a utopian model for how everything else ought to work.
I don’t have any user plugins in this search set, but there may well be ways to exploit some of these resources more effectively than I’ve yet found, as well as other aggregators of Open Access outlets that would be useful to incorporate. … and then from the Sites tab (third item is my own institution’s library catalogue, for which you’ll substitute your own): But I suspect many others here, particularly outside the Humanities where I’m confined, have their own deeper experience and tips to contribute.įor what it’s worth, here’s are screenshots of my default settings for my basic academic search set, first from the Plugins tab (built-in DA plugins): I suppose the test would be to uncheck Google Scholar in the Search Sets => Plugins tab and see what happens. I have a default custom search set for articles that includes Google Scholar alongside JSTOR,, and my own university’s library catalogue, so it may simply be that DA is capturing some of the same items by other routes. I also use DA mostly for academic searches, but for some reason I don’t seem to get locked out of Google Scholar, unless I’m just not noticing that I have been. Good question there are probably tips to be shared here, though I don’t have any obvious solutions myself.

(You can also save the complete search results offline if you want, though I usually find that overkill.)
If you’re looking for a Nepalese restaurant within two miles, Google’s your guy but if you want to find out about Chinese narratology, DEVONagent will find, sort, and summarise everything you need to know that’s out there, and save the whole thing in a compact RTF file you can then work with in anything, including – indeed, especially – DEVONthink.
Devonagent pro google scholar series#
DEVONagent is more of a research tool the key features are the ability to create search sets (of sites and search engines, including custom plugins) the filtering of results (to weed out the ads, garbage, and duplicates, and allow interactive ranking on the fly) the collection of all relevant results in a single live view rather than a series of pages, with auto-generated and generally very effective summaries and the collection of all results and summaries in a single saveable document with live links. Well, as others have said in this thread, Google or DuckDuckGo absolutely have a place if you’re trying to find a specific thing.
