How to Clean Up Google Search Results for Academic Research

Academic research demands peer-reviewed sources, but Google continually pushes commercial blogs, Pinterest boards, and sponsored ads to the top. To clean up Google search results for academic rigor, use the Search Cleaner extension. By proactively blacklisting .com affiliate marketers and known content farms, you force the algorithm's actual high-quality .edu and .org results higher up your screen. This drastically reduces the cognitive load of sifting through garbage when looking for citations.
