I never thought I would subscribe to an academic YouTube channel 😅 I’ve found a treasure today, I love it. Keep it up and thank you!

[bradhogan]

BIG THANKS, I just used Google Scholar to follow some key researchers and picked up on a December 2023 paper (Nature) which may have a significant impact on my research. Thanks Andy

[deborahharris]

Thanks so much for the succinctness, clarity and injection of humour into this valuable resource; much appreciated.

[RobinGOSEN]

Hi Andy, ever considered making a full course from A-Z to how you (including the tools you use) go about the research process?

[shaikhalvee]

It's been three years of my PhD, and I didn't even know about the advanced search. Things would have been so much faster!!!

[lukejay]

I've been making a Playlist of your video to have for when I start Ph.D

I take pride that we share the same university - pure novacastrian stuff ❤❤❤

[IndyScriabin-dlot]

Thanks a zillion, Andy, for all the effort you put into these video to help us all make better use of our time :-)

I did a literature search course where they recommended as the Web of science over google scholar for the possibility of using wildcards and boolean operators and searching only peer reviewed articles. Nonetheless I find it sometimes more helpful to also include non peer reviewed stuff, e.g. when you're getting into a new topic (lecture notes or theses).

Thank youuuu, I'm writing my discussion chapter, however, I am adding more new information that has been published in the past 3 years. Therefore, it is like doing a literature review again. I am not sure if it is a smart move, but I'm doing it. So, thank you so much for this video.

[jaderunner]

I love your videos! I watch them often and have gotten some great tips, tricks, and ideas! I will often share your videos with my students (I teach a research class in education). I was just about ready to copy the link to send to my students and um, well....the last little bit about sex positions might be problematic. So I'll just give them the highlights. 😀

The most needed content for all phd students around the world. Thanks for making these tips available for us. ❤

From Saudi Arabia thank you so much for your helpful content it is beneficial in so many ways

"Everyone's doing it" - Not the greatest argument. 😆
I'd say try using the search engine of your university first but if you can't find it there and you're a student (or even worse - a private person with no institutional access whatsoever), then it's fair not to pay possibly 100$ just to skim a paper that might turn out to be irrelevant.
If journals offered papers at 3$ a pop for students and private persons, I might not use Anna's archive.

[ShinjiCarlos]

Would you consider making a video on using the best reading strategy to optimize paper reading? Do you use the Zettelkasten principle? If yes, how is your experience with that?

[EachDayForever]

Really nice and informative video. Some really great insights, connections, and ideas are made in here.

[thompsonuna]

Andy!!! You are brilliant, that's all!

[DomDEngineer]

Ok, after watching this video, even if I have 2 master degrees already, I want to do research! :D

[christianarias]

I got subverted by that Elicit research LMAO
