W4: What are the pros and cons of using Naver vs Google for research purposes?

Google Scholar:

In terms of academic research, Google Scholar is a web search engine that can search academic articles for free. Its source of information is also professional and rich. For example, articles from academic publishers, etc. There are also most of the published academic journals in the world. It also supports advanced search functions such as keywords, classification and filtering, and you can find the most relevant research documents in the entire academic field in a few seconds. Every search result on Google Scholar will show citations. This provides a good extended search clue, which is convenient for users to directly view related papers.

As a Chinese student, even in mainland China, Google Scholar cannot directly access and use it. We will still use VPN and other methods for reference when conducting research.


NAVER:

And naver is more like an interactive community. There are more academic websites in Korea. 

As a Chinese student, I think Naver rarely uses for academic research.


However, relevant information shows that South Korea's largest search engine occupies about 70% of the Korean search engine market share. Before, many Koreans found that they borrowed American search engines such as Google, but many content related to Korean culture could not find results at all. In fact, according to data, Google only occupied 4.4% of the Korean market at that time. 

Although Google has also realized the importance of the Korean market, and has also listed professional classified websites dedicated to Korean users, the number of views is very poor.

It is because South Korea's naver search engine has gradually become perfect. In addition to the refined search categories, it has expanded into a comprehensive Korean portal, providing users with many items such as mailboxes, news, communities, shopping, and finance.
