Scopus and Google Scholar

I've had the opportunity to work with the Scopus database and Google Scholar. Google Scholar isn't very good for the following reasons:

  1. Exporting to Refworks is tedious. There isn't an option to mark citations and export all at once. Each citation has to be exported one at a time.
  2. The advanced search feature isn't all that advanced. The facets available to narrow searches are limited. For example, a user can't limit the search by name of journal (like in Scopus).
  3. A user can't save previous searches.
