Estamos de acuerdo, Google Scholar no evalúa la calidad, solo presenta los datos que recopila automáticamente para que tú tomes una decisión. Como dices, hay que molestarse en ir más allá del indicador y ver lo que hay detrás

Vean las listas con resultados inverosímiles. Se mezclan revistas de calidad con otras que, si se molestan en ver artículos, son en su mayoría self report studies, revisiones, hagiografías y exégesis. Google Scholar no evalúa la calidad, sólo aspectos formales Son autómatas 2/3

Beware of references generated by Google Scholar, chances are you'll have to manually fix them (which defeats their purpose). Even if they don't contain other errors, there are two big limitations: 1) no DOIs, and 2) truncated author lists (when > 10) even in BibTeX/RIS formats!

📢 #GoogleScholar #citations #wrong!? We're currently exploring this. You can help 👇 1) Check your citations in #GS. If you find errors (ie author position/order/spelling; mostly occur in "Harvard" & "Vancouver" style), write us or into the comments 2) Re-twt this call Thanks!

Our suggestion: get the reference metadata from the source (publisher website) or from a curated data source: CrossRef, PubMed, Dimensions, Web of Science, Scopus... then use a reference manager like @zotero to generate references in your preferred format

Do you obey public-access mandates? Google Scholar is watching

Nature - Search-engine co-founder Anurag Acharya explains why it now tells authors when their papers should be made free to read.

The declared goal is to help authors track the mandates they need to fulfil -> Wouldn't it make more sense then to include as part of a private dashboard only accessible to the owner of the profile?

First reactions to the new feature in Google Scholar profiles. More miss than hit?

Before you all get excited about the Google Scholar "public access" tab, I am here to tell you it is terrible and flawed

Yep. Google Scholar is publicly shaming authors with flawed data and no way for authors to fix except to comply ... even when they aren't under mandate or legally cannot load to Gdrive. If you think this is a good move, be prepared to defend when GS releases its PA-index next.

Notice how this converts GS into a paper hosting platform (powered by Google Drive), similar to ResearchGate, because authors will have the option to remove articles

Public PDFs uploaded to Google Drive will also be indexed in Google Scholar and will therefore appear in author profiles😲

"The Public Access section of a Google Scholar profile contains the articles that are expected to be publicly available based on funding agency mandates." "The Google Scholar indexing system automatically extracts funding information from the acknowledgement sections of articles"

Fun fact for those subscribed to Google scholar updates - it flags “special” landmark citations! (Also, bonus: this looks like a cool paper)

Interesting contribution from @PeterKraker on the crisis of discoverability of scholarly content. While the general-purpose Google search engine is increasingly contextualising content, Google Scholar results pages have barely evolved since its launch doi.org/10.1515/abitech-2021…
