	Google Scholar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Google Scholar is a search engine that indexes the full text of scholarly literature across an array of publishing formats and scholarly fields.
		Released by Google for beta-testing in November 2004, the index includes virtually all peer-reviewed journals available online, except those published by Elsevier, the world's largest scientific publisher.
		More critic of Google Scholar can be found at Peter's digital reference shelf for example.

	On Google Scholar
		Google's rapidly growing content partnerships organization is looking for a Strategic Partner Manager who will be responsible for maintaining and growing strategic relationships with our Google Scholar partners.
		Google's search tool that focuses on academic material, called Google Scholar, is winning a prominent place in the hearts, minds, and Web sites of some librarians.
		Google Scholar is a different and more accurate way to find academically appropriate and peer-reviewed journal articles without getting all the rock star bios, sports results and blogs.

	UT Libraries: Google Scholar FAQ
		Google Scholar™ does not list what journals or publishers it covers, so it is impossible to know exactly what is being searched.
		By using Google Scholar™ link on the Library's website, you will be recognized as an affiliate of UT and will be linked to the full-text if the Library subscribes to that particular journal.
		Google Scholar™ may lead you to a publisher’s site where you are asked to purchase the full-text.

	A Quick Review of Google Scholar (via Jerz's Literacy Weblog)
		Google's bots can't improve on the accuracy of the information they index, and since human researchers have been known to cite sources without reading them, the page-ranking algorithm is not a substitute for real peer-review.
		In this area, Google Scholar is no worse than regular Google, and somewhat better (since even those authors whose work is mistaken for an academic paper will have done some filtering of their source material).
		I think Google is a step or two away from extending its reach to yet another area of information technology and Google is now that much closer to fulfilling Vannevar Bush’s dream of the Memex.

	Review of Google Scholar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Google Scholar is an internet-based search engine designed to locate scholarly literature (including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research) available across the Web or sometimes in print format only; results are returned in a relevance-ranked format.
		Google Scholar is prevented from linking to much of this hidden content (but does crawl those sites where it has an agreement with the publisher or can be found at a specific ﾑpreferenceﾒ institution, irrespective of whether the resource itself is freely available or not) and therein cannot access many significant academic resources.
		But Scholar has yet to be able to draw from much of the material available in the Open Archives Initiative (particularly in local repositories), often because of limitations in the original metadata provided by the originators or because Google has not been made aware of the content.

	Gale - Gale 2002 - Free Resources - Reference Reviews - Archives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Google Scholar is a follow-up to the CrossRef Search Pilot project that was launched in April with the help of CrossRef and the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) registration agency that handles scholarly and professional publishers.
		Real scholars, however, are concerned with finding as much relevant, and as little irrelevant or redundant, items as possible on a specific topic, and to not pay for something that their college, research institute or corporation already paid the journal publisher for.
		Scholars (who are not necessarily intimately familiar with information technology) may feel more confused than lucky and wonder how these records relate to the six others, four of which have cryptic hyperlinks as part of the no. 1 entry.

	Google Scholar Versus Metasearch Systems
		Second, because Google is a commercial company, some librarians are concerned that providing Google Scholar with holdings information may serve Google for matters other than the provision of links and hence does not comply with their mission as educational or research institutions that are commercially neutral.
		Google Scholar is becoming the object of greater attention from libraries, patrons, and publishers, regardless of librarian approval.
		Google's attentiveness to the library community, as evidenced by the rapid implementation of the OpenURL standard in Google Scholar, indicates that this service might well be evolving in the right direction.

	Late Night Thoughts on Google Scholar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Google doesn't solve the appropriate copy or rights management issues with licensed content, and libraries have some options for these issues that are recognized in the Google FAQ, but if there's ever been a time to get our systems up to snuff for authentication and identification, it is now.
		Google has been fairly supportive of developers, and I was pleasantly surprised when they agreed to bump up my API limit for wiring in the Did You Mean engine into a library application.
		I think Google will eventually add a Preferences option to Google Scholar like what exists in their flagship search service, and I hope someone is talking to them about a library role in this.

	Health Sciences Library Resources - Google Scholar
		Google Scholar can be a helpful starting point for a search before you focus your topic and begin looking comprehensively for the highest quality information.
		Google has not released information regarding which databases it searches or when it is updated, making it difficult to determine how comprehensive your search has been.
		Google Scholar covers a wide range of academic areas; however it appears that it provides better coverage of literature in the area of science and technology than in the humanities.

	technogeekery for librarians: Google scholar
		Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com/) was released in beta version in November 2004 and is an effort by Google to create a database of scholarly articles for which citation and abstract information is widely available to all users.
		Google Scholar is not stating where they are getting the citations from, but PubMed, ACM, and IEEE all appear in the search results.
		Google Scholar also includes library materials which may or may not be scholarly from a database called WorldCat.

	Classes & Tours-About Google Scholar
		Google Scholar is a subset of Google Web Search that enables you to search specifically for scholarly literature, including papers, theses, books, and reports.
		Google Scholar is strongest in science and technology, but Google Scholar is continually indexing new content so more materials are being added in the social sciences and humanities.
		Not all Google Scholar results are "scholarly." It is important to carefully review and assess each information source for its appropriateness and relevance to your research.

	Google Scholar
		By searching Google Scholar from the Library's home page you will automatically have access, on and off campus, to many of those articles already paid for by the Library.
		Google Scholar is currently weighted toward the sciences and not all Google Scholar results are "scholarly." As with any research tool, it is important to check your sources carefully and evaluate their suitability for your research.
		It is also important to recognize that unlike the Google search engine, Google Scholar's relevance ranking takes into account the full text of each article as well as the article's author, the publication in which the article appeared, and how often it has been cited in scholarly literature.

	Google Scholar
		Google Scholar is a search engine that indexes scholarly materials that are available through the World Wide Web, as well as library holdings from WorldCat, and citations from other materials.
		In particular, many publishers who put their journal issues up on the web have submitted their sites to Google Scholar, so that pages pointing to online journal articles are retrieved, but a subscription to the electronic journal or a one time payment is necessary to access the article itself.
		Not all of any of these collections is searchable through Google Scholar; only article collections that provide at least an abstract for free can be indexed, and not all of the available content has been or will be indexed.

		All indications are that this also means that Google Scholar is not limited to the first 100 or so KB of a page, much like the regular Google search engine.
		Google is clearly making a statement that it is serious about being able to provide tools for users to find the answers for anything.
		Last week, when Google announced it had doubled the size of its index, many had criticized the announcement, saying it is more important what you do with data than how much data you have.

	Using Google Scholar - Georgia State University Library
		Google Scholar is the newest offering from Google that searches for scholarly materials such as peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from broad areas of research.
		Google Scholar searches a specific subset of Google's index and covers a wide range of academic content areas; however coverage appears to be strongest in science and technology, and weakest in the humanities.
		However, Google Scholar only includes articles that are indexed within its database, and this is a much smaller subset of scholarly articles than found in some other GSU Library-subscribed databases.

	Google Scholar Documentation and Large PDF Files
		Google would be doing themselves a favor in offering better documentation and disclosure about what Google Scholar does and doesn't offer.
		However, the Google Scholar cached version shows that only about half of the document has been indexed and is searchable.
		When Google Scholar has more "hits" for a query, they often turn out to be duplicates and triplicates (not always displayed adjacently) with a separate hit for the TOC entry, the abstract, the PDF file and (if available) the HTML file.

	LibraryLink » Blog Archive » Google Scholar
		Google has become the British Empire of the web…the sun never sets on it, or at least it seems that way, since it’s hard to open the morning paper or login to a favorite news site without tripping over a Google story.
		One of the products Google has launched recently is Scholar, which aims at bringing to the web the contents of scholarly/academic publications in the learned disciplines.
		Since Google, as a search engine, trawls the web and since there are no editorial or methodological controls on who can publish what, the hit list on any given search is likely to bring up gems and trash in a very lopsided ratio.

	Science in the web ageStart your engines : Nature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Google has deals with several academic publishers that allow it to search the full text of many papers, whereas Web of Science and the others are largely restricted to searching abstracts.
		Google remains reluctant to reveal details of its search algorithm, or what it indexes, so hopes of using Scholar as a tool for checking on citation counts is a distant prospect, they say.
		Librarians say that Scholar's current high usage rates are likely to reflect searches run by undergraduates, who typically require only a couple of key papers on any one subject, and researchers who want a quick snapshot of an unfamiliar field.

		One of Google's requirements for inclusion in Google Scholar is that publishers at least show abstracts to searchers.

		Google Scholar is just one of the more recent additions to a long line of academic, scientific, and other scholarly Internet search tools.
		Scholar does have author, title, date, and publication fields in the advanced search, but the fields are far less reliable than in a structured database.

	HubLog: TouchGraph browser for Google Scholar
		This is where I rant again about closed citation databases - Google's Scholar, Elsevier's Scopus, ISI's Web of Science, NEC's CiteSeer and CiteBase all duplicating the same work and (with the exception of CiteBase, which is only experimental) not making it available for other people to work with.
		There may be better tools for citation visualisation that can present the concept of a linear timeline, such as prefuse, JUNG or SpaceTree (again, if they had access to the data).
		Similarly, it would be very useful to be able to work backwards through the citations, from a new article to a classic original, but there's no way to do that with Google Scholar yet.
