Google Scholar or Google Academy is a free full-text search engine for scientific publications in all formats and disciplines. The project was launched in November 2004. Today, this system is an indispensable tool for any researcher.
The Google Academy repository contains information from many peer-reviewed online journals of the largest scientific publishers in Europe, America and Russia, archives of preprints, publications on the websites of universities, scientific societies and other scientific organizations. The system searches across various disciplines and sources: articles, abstracts, books, abstracts and judicial opinions from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other websites. "Google Scholar" searches for scientific research from all over the world, looking for articles, including in Russian.
The advertising slogan of the Google Academy - "standing on the shoulders of giants" - is taken from the well-known saying of Isaac Newton "If I have seen further than others, it is because I stood on the shoulders of giants", as a sign of respect for scientists who have made an incommensurable contribution to the development of science on over the centuries and laid the foundation for modern discoveries and achievements.
In terms of its functionality, the Google Academy is similar to such specialized scientific search engines, electronic archives, article and link search tools as Scirus, Science Research Portal, Windows Live Academic, Infotrieve - artical finder, CiteSeerX, ResearchIndex, Scientopica and GetCITED. Not least, it allows you to work for free, unlike similar sites that provide access to publications after a paid subscription, such as Scopus and Web of Science.
The following features of Google Scholar can be distinguished:
- search for scientific literature from any place convenient for you;
- allows you to calculate the citation index of publications and find works, citations, authors and articles containing links to those that have already been found;
- the ability to search for the full text of the document both online and through libraries;
- view the latest news and events in any field of research;
- you can create a profile of a public author with links to your publications.
So, let's take a closer look at the available functions of this search engine.
1. Google Scholar Search
The search for a full-text document is carried out not only among publications available online, but also in libraries or paid resources. However, some publishers do not allow the Academy to index their journals.
Search results are ranked by relevance. In accordance with this algorithm, full-text documents are included in the statistics, taking into account the rating of the author or publication that published it and the number of citations from the publication. Thus, the most popular articles are displayed in the first links.
Here you can also sort documents by date and citation.
There is also an advanced search that allows you to sort publications by a specific word / phrase, title, author / edition, for a specific period.
2. Quoting and linking
To use this feature, you must create a public Google Scholarship profile, complete it, and upload the relevant publications. Then, when you request your name in the search engine, the publications you uploaded will appear. Perhaps this will help you make useful contacts with colleagues who study the same issues around the world.
This service will quickly and easily find your articles, regardless of their number and the presence of co-authors.
It is possible to add not only single, but also groups of articles. Citation rates are calculated and updated automatically as the service discovers new citations of your work on the web.
It should be borne in mind that the system does not distinguish between namesakes and, conversely, identical links received from different/mirror servers are treated as different, just like different versions of links to the same work. Therefore, significant efforts and time are required for additional processing of the results of determining citation.
When forming a reference, you will have the opportunity to choose one of the international or Russian standards for the design of bibliographic references.
3. Availability of a guide for webmasters
This documentation describes the technology for indexing websites with scientific articles from Google Scholar. It is written for webmasters who would like to include their documents in the "Academy" search results.
Detailed technical information will also be useful to individual authors who have the opportunity to publish work on their website and add a link to it on the Google Scholarship publishing page.
With this service, you can increase the worldwide relevance and accessibility of content by working with scientific publishers to index peer-reviewed papers, dissertations, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all areas of research in order to make them available on Google and Google Scholar ".
4. Metrics or indicators
This section allows you to quickly assess the presence and significance of recent articles in scientific journals, as well as analyze the relevance of topics for the author.
Here you can view the TOP 100 publications in multiple languages, sorted by their 5-year h-index and h-median. H5-index - h-index for articles published in the last 5 full years. H5-median is the median of the number of citations of publications that are included in the h5-index.
It is also possible to study publications in specific scientific fields. To do this, you just need to select the area of \u200b\u200bresearch that interests you. Here you can also select a subcategory for this area.
As of today, work with categories and subcategories is available only for English editions.
5. Library
Google Scholar uses information about digital library resources to create per-article links to library servers in search results. With the help of the database being created, the user can find the right book in the library closest to him.
The mission of the Google Academy is to collect scientific information from all over the world in one resource and organize its universality, accessibility and usefulness.
The problem of searching and collecting information is one of the most important problems in writing a scientific publication. Currently, the problem of having too much information that is not reliable, high-quality and relevant is relevant.
Thus, the relevance of the problem is determined by the contradiction between the large flows of information circulating in the modern world and the inability to quickly and efficiently search for it on the Internet.
When searching on the Internet, two components are important - completeness and accuracy. Usually this is all called in one word - relevance, that is, the correspondence of the answer to the question. Important indicators are the coverage and depth of the search engine, crawl speed and relevance of links (the speed of updating information in this database), search quality (the closer to the top of the list is the document you need, the better the relevance works).
The scientific search engine "Google Academy" is a resource that can solve the problem of finding information and has the ability to quickly and accurately sort it. Due to its advanced functionality, it allows you to find up-to-date, complete and reliable information in any field of research with a minimum investment of time. According to the statement of the creators, Google Scholar allows you to identify the most relevant scientific research from the entire mass of work carried out in the world.
The features of this scientific search system can leave a very prominent imprint on the processes of intellectual competition and even lead to certain changes in the general nature of scientific results and ideas that survive in the competition and determine the future of science.
This opportunity is invaluable for the development of scientific research. Since on the basis of the information received, the author can fully work on the originality and novelty of scientific research.
ONLINE Scientific Journal "Child and Society"

Google Academy is a freely available search engine that indexes the full text of scientific publications in all formats and disciplines. The release date in beta status is November 2004. The Google Scholar Index includes most of the peer-reviewed online journals in Europe and America from the largest scientific publishers. It is similar in function to the freely available Scirus systems from Elsevier, CiteSeerX and getCITED. It is also similar to subscription-based tools such as Elsevier at Scopus and Thomson ISI's Web of Science. Google Academy's advertising slogan, "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants," is a tribute to scientists who have contributed to their fields over the centuries, providing the foundation for new scientific advances.
Story
Google Scholarship arose out of a discussion between Alex Verstak and Anurag Acharya, both of whom then worked on building Google's core web index.
In 2006, in response to the release of Microsoft's Windows Live Academic Search, a potential competitor to Google Scholar, a citation import feature was implemented using bibliographic managers (such as RefWorks, RefMan, EndNote, and BibTeX). Similar features are also implemented in other search engines such as CiteSeer and Scirus.
In 2007, Acharya announced that Google Scholar had begun a program to digitize and host journal articles under publisher agreement, separate from Google Books, whose older journal scans do not include the metadata needed to search for specific articles in specific areas.
Features and Specifications
Google Scholar 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". Because most of Google's scientific search results are direct links For commercial journal articles, most users will only be able to access a brief abstract of the article as well as a small amount of important information about the article, and may have to pay to access the full article.Google Scholar is just as easy to use as a regular Google web search especially with the "Advanced Search" which can automatically narrow search results to specific journals or articles.The most significant keyword search results will be listed first, in order of author's ranking, the number of links that are associated with her and their relationship to other scientific literature, as well as the rating of publications of the journal in which she printed.
Through its "cited in" feature, Google Scholar provides access to abstracts of articles that cite the article being reviewed. It is this feature, in particular, that provides the citation index previously available only in Scopus and the Web of Knowledge. Through its "Related Articles" feature, Google Scholar presents a list of closely related articles, ranked primarily by how similar those articles are to the original result, but also by the importance of each article.
As of March 2011, Google Scholar is not yet available for the Google AJAX API.
Ranking algorithm
While most academic databases and search engines allow users to select one of the factors (such as relevance, number of citations, or date of publication) to rank results, Google Scholar ranks results using a combined ranking algorithm that acts as "researchers do, given full the text of each article, the author, the edition in which the article was published, and how often it has been cited in other scientific literature. Research has shown that Google Scholar places particularly high weight on the number of citations and words included in the title of a document. As a consequence, the first search results often contain highly cited articles.
Limitations and criticism
Some users consider Google Scholar comparable in quality and usefulness to commercial databases, although its user interface (UI) is still in beta.
A significant problem with Google Scholar is the lack of coverage data. Some publishers do not allow it to index their journals. Elsevier's journals were not included in the index until mid-2007, when Elsevier made most of its content on ScienceDirect available to Google Scholar in Google's web search. As of February 2008, the most recent years are still missing from the journals of the American Chemical Society. Google Scholar does not publish a crawl list of scientific journals. The frequency of its update is also unknown. However, it provides easy access to published articles without the hassle of some of the most expensive commercial databases.
