Scholar academy. Google academy

In order to check the degree of development of the selected scientific problem and engage in a full-fledged analysis of available scientific works, it is not enough just to search in Yandex or Google. For these purposes, special scientific search services have been created. These include:

  • Web of Science;
  • Scopus;
  • Google Scholar.

The first two search engines are paid. And one of the best and largest search services is Google Scholar (Google Academy). She is part of google search and indexes full versions of the texts of scientific articles, publications in all sciences and scientific disciplines, in all formats.

Benefits of Google Scholar Compared to Other Search Services

Here are just some of the benefits of this search engine:

  1. First, it is an easily accessible and free option for searching published dissertations, peer-reviewed articles, authoritative monographs and other specialized scientific literature that came from reputable publishers of various world universities, professional companies and associations, and scientific organizations.
  2. Secondly, the Academy is Russified and fully adapted for the Russian-speaking audience (unlike other analogs).
  3. Thirdly, the Google Scholar system makes it possible to search for full-text articles from magazines and newspapers, preprints and other paper documents. The Academy organizes information from the majority of peer-reviewed journals (both online and offline) of the most reputable scientific publishing houses in the United States and Europe.
  4. Fourthly, the search algorithm is almost no different from working with the usual search engines with the issuance of links that are suitable for the request. Using these links, you can easily find articles that contain the required theses. Of course, most of the articles are unfortunately closed. Viewing the full version is possible only after making certain monetary contributions. But still there are texts that are provided free of charge in full version without Borders.

Pros of Google Scholar Citations:

  • in Google Academy, the "Citation" section underlies the definition of the citation index, which was previously possible only in Web of Science and Scopus;

  • it does not contain data from closed sources and there are no publications without electronic analogues (or which are not mentioned in electronic sources);
  • there is no guarantee of the veracity of the data added to the author's own personal profile (this is a matter of personal responsibility and adherence to scientific ethics);
  • some publishers prefer to close themselves from indexing their magazines Google service Scholar;
  • refresh rate not shown.

Google Scholar Citations features:

  • the author's profile is designed in the form of a hyperlink, by clicking on which you can immediately see full list published works;

  • the ability to add co-authors and view their publications;
  • there is a section "Cited in", which can be used to display a list of articles that link to the publication being viewed;
  • the section "related articles" offers a list of articles that are similar in content to the article in question, and they are ranked according to the level of similarity with the main article;
  • there is a certificate of scientometric indicators (h-index, citation statistics).
  • import of citations into programs for organizing bibliographic information (BibTeX, RefWorks, EndNote, RefMan) and loading them into author identification systems (ResearcherID, ORCID).


How do I work with Google Academy?

As mentioned above, everyone can use this search engine absolutely free of charge. You just need to register on the site (scholar.google.ru), enter through google account and fill out your own profile.

Your profile allows you to track not only the citation index of your articles, but also additionally calculate the Hirsch index and display the dynamics of your citations. You can also make your profile open and establish close scientific contacts with scientists who specialize in the same or a related scientific issue. This is very useful in today's globalized world, where scientific discoveries are most often made at the intersection of various sciences, scientific schools and scientific approaches. Google Academy provides its registered users with the opportunity to work in almost all libraries in the world.

At the same time, it has been proven in practice that the quality of scientometric data in Google Academy is not lower than similar databases. Therefore, information from the Academy can be taken seriously when assessing the publication activity of a particular scientist.

Problems and disadvantages of Google Academy

Unfortunately, many publishers refuse to grant the right to index their publications. An even greater disadvantage is the presence of a large number of pseudoscientific articles, since many unscrupulous publishers provide low-quality magazines for indexing.

If you look for a highly professional article on a specific scientific problem, then there is a risk of plunging into "scientific consumer goods." Therefore, when using Google Academy, one must be vigilant and independently, with all attention, evaluate the scientific value and significance of the articles found in the search.

How do I use Google Academy?

Google Academy on the portal (eng. Google scholar) is a freely accessible search engine that provides full-text search for scientific publications of all formats and disciplines. The system has been operating since November 2004, initially in beta status. The Google Academy Index includes most of the peer-reviewed online journals in Europe and America from the largest scientific publishers.

In terms of function, it is similar to loose available systems Scirus from Elsevier, CiteSeerX and getCITED... Also it is similar to tools based on paid subscription, such as Elsevier v Scopus and Thomson ISI's .

Google Academy advertising slogan - "Standing on the shoulders of giants"- a tribute to scientists who have contributed to the development of science over the centuries and provided the basis for new discoveries and achievements. Presumably borrowed from Newton's quote: "If I saw further than others, it was because I stood on the shoulders of giants."

The Google Academy is Russified, which means that scientific articles, abstracts, books, abstracts, reviews of academic publishing houses and professional societies, online repositories of universities and other popular scientific and educational sites are open to the user.

Google Academy allows users to search for digital or physical copies of articles, whether online or in libraries. "Scientific" search results are generated using links from full-text journal articles, technical reports, preprints, dissertations, books and other documents, including selected web pages that are considered "Scientific"... Since most of Google's scientific search results are direct links to commercial journal articles, most users will only be able to access a brief abstract of the article, as well as a small number of important information about the article, and you may have to pay to access the full article.

Indexing Limitations and Critics of the Ranking Algorithm

Although most academic databases and search engines Allows users to select one of the factors (such as relevance, number of citations, or publication date) to rank results, Google Academy ranks the results using a combined ranking algorithm. Google Academy places particular weight on the number of citations and words included in the title of a document. As a consequence, early search results often contain highly cited articles.

A significant problem with Google Academy is the lack of coverage data. Some publishers do not allow her to index their magazines. Magazines Elsevier were not included in the index until mid-2007, when Elsevier made most of my content on ScienceDirect available to Google Academy in Google web search. Google Academy does not publish the scientific journal crawl list. Its update frequency is also unknown. However, it provides easy access to published articles without the hassle of some of the most expensive commercial databases.

In addition, the current academic search engine is filled with pseudoscientific articles, making it a potentially dangerous database for those doing serious research, from students to academics. The problem is that Google scholar strives to index as fully as possible the articles appearing in scientific journals. However, many unscrupulous publishers use indexing mechanisms Google scholar and include in its index numerous pseudoscientific or insufficiently high-quality publications that would not have gone through the peer review procedure in scientific journals.

All journals of our publishing house are included in the Google Academy. However, authors should take into account that these articles are included in automatic mode, i.e. under an agreement with Google Academy, their robot automatically uploads articles from our sites to its database. This does not always happen quickly. And since the robot does it, mistakes are possible. If you want your articles to upload quickly to Google Academy, so that you, as an author, have the necessary scientific results in Google Academy, you need to create a profile in Google Academy and submit your articles there yourself. Below is a video with a quick guide.

History

Google Academy arose out of a discussion between Alex Verstak and Anurag Acharya, both of whom then worked to build Google's main web index.

In 2006, in response to the release Windows Live Academic Search from Microsoft, a potential competitor for Google Academy, has implemented an import function for citations using bibliographic managers (such as RefWorks, RefMan, EndNote, and BibTeX). Similar capabilities are also implemented in other search engines such as CiteSeer and Scirus.

In 2007, Acharya announced that Google Academy had begun a program to digitize and host magazine articles by agreement with publishers, separate from Google Books, whose scans of older magazines do not include the metadata needed to search for specific articles in specific areas.
