**4 benefits of Yippy over Google for academic research**

 

A search engine that is tailored to specifically search for religion based results only and narrows the range of results and return more relevant sources of information. Give it a try.

Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites. Google Scholar helps you find relevant work across the world of scholarly research.
