Locating Reliable Academic Sources

Using Google Search to your Advantage

You can use Google tricks to search websites. Add site:.org to your search and it will limit to that domain to organization websites. In addition, you can search specific websites this way—for example, site:.org "birds aren't real".

You can also limit by date by opening the Tools link and choosing a time period, although for this topic that may not be useful.
