How do you keep on top of the latest thinking in your industry? One way to keep track is Google Scholar.
Google Scholar allows you to search by pub date
Google Scholar is a subset of the wider Google search that focuses on academic publications. Candidates for academic roles will likely find this a valuable part of their toolkit (although they may want to do some extra due diligence before citing what they find), but job seekers of all stripes can utilize it to find articles and resources related to their industry that they may not have otherwise run across.
The tool itself is very straightforward — a standard search that you can narrow down by publication date (by year) or by subject areas (biology and life sciences, business and economics, chemistry and materials science, humanities, etc., accessible through the Advanced Search panel). But if academic perspective is valuable to your efforts, it appears to be a great way to screen for the good stuff.
Have you used Google Scholar? What are your experiences? Would you add it to your info arsenal?
