Google Scholar also offers an advanced search option. It certainly simplifies searching for articles by author, articles published in a specific publication, and words in the articles' title. However, as with most date searches, forget it. I searched for articles about chemistry published in the year 2020 and found three. Either Google knows something about the future that we don't or their software is misreading some number as a year. The advanced Google Scholar search also let users limit their search by publication. This is somewhat misleading because the "publication" can be a citation, article, or book, although there is no way to tell Google Scholar to distinguish among these choices. Also, the publication searches are imperfect; a search limited to the publication Nature also returns results from Nature Medicine, for example.
During 2006, Google Scholar added a new feature that "will make it easier for researchers to keep up with recent research… It's not just a plain sort by date, but rather we try to rank recent papers the way researchers do, by looking at the prominence of the author's and journal's previous papers, how many citations it already has, when it was written, and so on. Look for the new link on the upper right for 'Recent articles'-or switch to 'All articles' for the full list."[1]
