Hi there,
 
When you’re doing a literature review, the quality of your search matters - not just the number of hits.
 
In a head‑to‑head evaluation of Consensus vs. Google Scholar
[https://consensus.app/home/blog/consensus-outperforms-google-scholar-for-academic-search-retrieval/], Consensus delivered more
relevant results and better rankings across real research queries - meaning you spend less time sorting noise and more time
reading evidence.
 
Here’s what researchers found:
 
 * Consensus had higher average precision (more relevant papers overall) than Google Scholar.

 * It also placed relevant papers higher in the results list — so the best evidence shows up first.
