I am currently working on a scoping review. I would like to use Google Scholar as one of my grey literature resources.
1. Based on your experience, what is the best search strategy for systematic/scoping reviews on Google Scholar?
2. Is there a method to export all search results from Google Scholar in a similar way to the main databases like Pubmed and Medline?
Thanks in advance.
Dear Başak İnce,
I think, you should create several hierarchies of patterns crisscrossing the key paths' subject matters. That'll help to choose an optimal search strategy.
Here is a guide to downloading from Google Scholar, but as it says, you are limited to 10 items at a time:

If you have access to the Web of Science, you should check on its separate data bases for Books, Conferences, and Emerging Journals. And Proquest is useful for theses and dissertations.
I have used Publish or Perish tool (https://harzing.com/resources/publish-or-perish) to search in Google Scholar, and found it quite handy. It allows you to search in titles and download the results into Excel/CSV format.
Dear Len Leonid Mizrah , David L Morgan and Ali Farooq thank you very much for your helpful answers!
