Enables you to search specifically for scholarly literature (peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, etc.). Google does not provide a list of sources that it uses in its search or criteria used in identifying material as scholarly. As a result, it can be difficult to determine how comprehensive and scholarly their sources are.
