*`filetype:pdf`* sundib otsingu tagastama ainult sellised kirjed, millel on Google Scholari indeksis otse‑PDF‑link.  
Tulemused kuvatakse relevance (sarnasuse) järjekorras – see on sama järjestus, mida Google Scholar kasutab tavapärases otsingus.

> **Märkus:** Mitmed kirjed ilmuvad mitu korda erinevate “Allika”‑linkide all (PDF‑versioonid hostitud eri serverites). Olen need loetlesin, sest Google Scholari relevantsusjärjestus arvestab kõiki eksemplare – seega on need endiselt top‑30 sees. Kui soovite **ainult unikaalseid** dokumente, võiksite eemaldada duplikaadid ja asendada neid järgmise lehe (`start=10`, `start=20` …) tulemustega.

## Kuidas hankida täiendavaid PDF‑kirjeid (kui 30 ei ole piisav)

| Toiming | Kirjeldus |
|--------|-----------|
| **Järgmised tulemused** | Muutke URLi lõpus `start=` väärtust: <br>`...filetype:pdf&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5&start=10` (järgne 10 tulemust), seejärel `start=20`, `30` jne. |
| **Filtreerimine “All versions”** | Iga kirje all on link *“All versions”*. Avades selle leiate tihti PDF‑versiooni, mis ei ole esialgses loendis nähtav (nt ülikooli repos). |
| **Kombineeri otsinguid** <br> `site:edu` või `site:gov` | Lisab eelistatult akadeemilisi / valitsuse allikaid, kus PDF‑failid on tavaliselt avatud. <br>`("rural road" OR "low-volume road") AND ("maintenance" OR "safety") filetype:pdf site:.edu` |
| **Kasutage Google Scholari “Cited by”** | Kirje kõrval olev *“Cited by X”* viitab hilisematele töödele, mis sageli pakuvad PDF‑versioone. Avades neid saate laiemat valikut. |
| **Preprint‑repood (arXiv, SSRN)** | Kuigi need ei pruugi alati täpselt vastata fraasile “rural road”, võite lisada `site:arxiv.org` või `site:ssrn.com`. |

### Kiire sammude kokkuvõte

1. **Kopeeri ja kleepi** ülaltoodud päringu string oma brauserisse (või Google Scholar’i otsingukasti).  
2. **Skrolli esimest lehte** – PDF‑ikooniga kirjed on otse allalaaditavad.  
3. Kui soovid rohkem kui 30 tulemust, **muuda `start=` parameetrit** (`10`, `20`, …) või klõpsa *“Next”* nuppu Google Scholar’is.  
4. Kasuta “All versions” linki iga kirje juures – see avab tihti alternatiivseid tasuta PDF‑versioone (ülikoolirepos, institutsionaalsed andmebaasid).  

Kui vajad konkreetsete lehekülgede (`start=10`, `20` jne) tulemuste **täielikku nimekirja** või soovid duplikaadid eemaldada ja asendada uute unikaalsete PDF‑linkidega – anna teada, siis toome need eraldi. Happy researching!
