How to use the Research tool in Google Docs.

Why It Matters

Students can conduct research from within Google Docs(Presentations and Documents).  The built in tools for citing their resources makes it easy for them to reference their sources.

 Details of the Tip

The Research tool makes it easy to add information from the web to your documents and presentations. To access the tool:

• Select the Research option from the Tools menu.
• Use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Cmd + I on Mac, Ctrl + Alt + I on PC).
• Right-click on a specific word and select Research.

The Research tool will appear along the right-hand side of your document or presentation. You can start a search by typing into the search bar. You can narrow your search to specific types of results (e.g. images, quotations) by using the drop-down menu in the search bar.

When conducting a search, the Research tool will show you different types of results — web results, images, quotations, maps, reviews, personal results, and more.
