Google has rolled out its "Preferred Sources" feature worldwide. It lets users decide for themselves which media outlets they want to see more often in Google Search's "Top Stories" – rather than relying solely on the algorithm.
For us at Informationsdienst Wissenschaft (idw), this is a great opportunity to make your science news even more visible. If you mark idw as a preferred source, our press releases on research and teaching will appear more prominently in your results for relevant search queries.
Please feel free to share this with colleagues – the more people choose idw as a preferred source, the more visible research news will become in Google Search.
For more background on the new Google feature, see the official announcement on the Google Blog.

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
