Where it searches
13 literature sources and 3 data sources. Duplicates across sources are merged. Coverage and availability vary by source.
Data sources
MHA/MBA questions
Which sources does the search cover?
OpenAlex, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, PubMed Health Services, NBER Working Papers, Europe PMC, OpenAIRE, World Bank Research, CORE, DOAJ, arXiv Economics, Google Scholar, SSRN. Plus SEC EDGAR, FRED, World Bank for filings and economic data. Google Scholar and SSRN are optional.
How are results ranked?
Duplicates are merged, then papers are ranked by how well they match your question, how many sources found them, subject fit, journal rating, and citations per year.
What do the journal ratings mean?
ABS, ABDC, and FT50 ratings cover more than 180 journals. They add context about the outlet. They complement, not replace, your judgment of the study itself.
What does the comprehensive review produce?
Themes, research gaps, and an annotated bibliography drawn from your sources. Treat it as a starting point and verify every claim against the original papers.
Can I export to my reference manager?
Yes. Export to Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, RIS, BibTeX, or CSV.
Mastering Scholar assists your research. It does not replace the original papers, faculty supervision, or your own methodological judgment.
