Library of scientific articles: search, catalogues. Google Scholar (Google Scholar) Google School Academy

The Google search engine has created a special tool “Google Scholar” for searching scientific and educational literature scholar.google.com, which allows you to search for peer-reviewed articles, dissertations, books and other scientific publications on various sites, from personal sites to large international repositories (repositories) and publication databases.

Create this profile first and then use the export button to transfer all the data to other profiles.

Google Scholar not only searches for scientific publications, but also sorts them, assigns them to individual authors, and provides them (the authors) with a service to manage their profile. This service is called “Google Scholar Citations” (GSC for short) or in Russian “Google Scholar Bibliographical Links” or “Google Scholar Author Profile”. You can access this service by opening the Google Scholar page scholar.google.com on the Internet and clicking on the “My Quotes” link (for more details, see the instructions).

Why do you need a Google Scholar Citations profile?

First of all, it is needed by the scientist himself (teacher, researcher). The GSC profile performs several important and convenient functions:

  1. Systematization of all publishing activity, the broadest of all existing services. Scopus, webscience or RSCI (e-library) collect information about publications only according to a strictly regulated list of publications. Most Russian-language journals and collections of conference proceedings are not included in these databases. Google Scholar indexes all university websites and university repositories, so almost all works are automatically included in the GSC profile.
  2. Convenient work with the list of publications. You yourself determine the articles of which you are the author, you can edit (clarify) their descriptions, add and delete works.
  3. When other scientists search Google Scholar, they will be able to see more than just one of your publications. With a GCS profile configured, your last name in the publication description turns into a link, following which you can see the entire list of your works, see the most interesting (most cited), see new works
  4. Information about scientometric parameters such as Citation Statistics, h-index, i10-index.
  5. Automatic notification when new links to your publications appear (usually such confirmation comes 1–14 days after the publication of a new work on the Internet, and the publication itself may be located in a closed database).
  6. Automatic notification when new publications appear.
  7. Export a list of publications in BiBTeX, EndNote, RefMan formats. These formats are understood by researchgate.net and analog systems, personal accounts of scientometric systems. By organizing the list of publications once, you will always have an up-to-date list, and using BiBTeX you can work with it to design new publications in LaTeX format.
  8. The international ranking Webometrics Ranking World Universities uses the scientometric parameter “Citation Statistics” of the nine most cited university scientists as one of the ranking parameters. You can view this list for BSU by following this link

Any scientific article is based on previously conducted research, so when writing scientific papers there is often a need to turn to electronic resources - libraries of scientific articles. Google Scholar (Google Academy), Cyberleninka (Kiberleninka) and other systems allow you to search for official scientific publications, without which any scientist is doomed to endlessly “reinvent the wheel.”

Where to find scientific articles

Searching for scientific articles is a process that requires care. There is a lot of unreliable information on the Internet, the use of which can easily distort the results of any study. Electronic resources provide enormous opportunities to conveniently find the information you need.

Let's figure out where and how to look for scientific articles on the Internet. There are certain sites for searching scientific papers - they are called scientific electronic libraries, catalogs of scientific articles or archives of scientific articles.

Cyberleninka

Cyberleninka is a free Internet portal containing about one million officially published works by scientists, allowing you to search for scientific articles in all areas from psychology to jurisprudence. The user-friendly interface of Cyberleninka allows you to read and search online full-text scientific works. It has an extensive rubricator by areas of activity. Cyberleninka is available from any mobile application. Also requires registration. A small drawback of Cyberleninka is the inability to download the text of the article directly from the resource.

Google academy

Google Scholar is a Russified portal for searching officially published articles from scientific journals and various publications. This is a free service where you can search and read full-text foreign and Russian articles for free. In addition, dissertations, monographs and other works from various branches of science are available on Google Scholar. Some works are in the restricted access of Google Academy. Access to such publications is possible for a fee. Google has links to citations.

A small drawback of Google Academy is the abundance of pseudoscientific articles.

However, if you have a good command of the subject under study, you will be able to understand the quality of the works posted on the specified service. You can also register as an author and publish your works, as well as track citations. You can also download some articles in PDF format.

eLibrary

This service is an extensive domestic database of articles, numbering more than 37 thousand scientific publications and about 15 million scientific papers. In 2005, the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) project was created on the eLybrary platform - a universal citation database similar to Scopus.

The database is available after registration. Registered users can not only search for articles, but also receive a subscription service to electronic publications in various fields of science.

On the portal you can search through the catalog of authors and journals, and use the thematic rubricator.

The library contains articles from Russian and foreign journals, which can be found in the public domain online.

There is a service for creating collections of works on a specific topic, for example, in the field of law, economics, medicine, psychology. Citation links are provided.

Scientific electronic library Scholar.ru

An extensive database of not only literature, but also abstracts and dissertations of scientists. It has a catalog of works by title, author's details, and areas of activity. The advantage of the library is the ability to download the texts of articles from journals. In addition, it is possible to set up a subscription to new arrivals on topics that interest you - law, medicine, economics and other sciences.

Search for scientific articles using ScienceResearch.com

SciencereSearch is a service for a worldwide search for articles in major scientific journals and publishers, as well as archives of scientific literature. The system does not require registration. There are descriptions of abstracts and dissertations.

The search is carried out by article title, author data or keywords.

Google Scholar) is a freely accessible search engine that indexes the full text of scientific publications of all formats and disciplines. Release date in beta version status - November 2004. The Google Scholar Index includes the majority of peer-reviewed online journals from Europe and America's largest scientific publishers. It is similar in functionality to the freely available Scirus systems from Elsevier, CiteSeerX and getCITED. It is also similar to subscription-based tools such as Elsevier's Scopus and Thomson ISI's Web of Science. Google Scholar's advertising slogan, "standing on the shoulders of giants," is a tribute to the scientists who have contributed to their fields over the centuries, providing the foundation for new scientific advances.

Story

Google Scholar arose from 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, it introduced citation import functionality 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 Scholar had begun a program to digitize and host journal articles under an agreement with publishers, separate from Google Books, whose scans of old journals do not include the metadata needed to find specific articles in specific fields.

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 short 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 as easy to use as a regular Google web search. , especially using "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 the author's ranking, the number of citations that are associated with it, and their relationship to it. other scientific literature, and also the publication rating of the journal in which it was published.

Through its "cited in" feature, Google Scholar provides access to abstracts of articles that cite the article being reviewed. It is this function, in particular, that provides a citation index previously available only in Scopus and Web of Knowledge. With its Related Articles feature, Google Scholar presents a list of closely related articles, ranked primarily by how similar the 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 publication date) to rank results, Google Scholar ranks results using a combined ranking algorithm that operates as "researchers do, given the full the text of each article, the author, the publication in which the article was published, and how often it was cited in other scientific literature.” Research has shown that Google Scholar gives particularly high weight to the number of citations and words included in the title of a document. As a result, the first search results often contain highly cited articles.

Limitations and criticism

Some users find 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 data on its coverage. Some publishers do not allow it to index their journals. Elsevier 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 Web Search. As of February 2008, the most recent years from the Journals of the American Chemical Society are still missing. Google Scholar does not publish crawl lists of scientific journals. Its update frequency is also unknown. However, it provides easy access to published articles without the difficulties encountered in some of the most expensive commercial databases.

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. Supposedly taken from Newton's quote: "If I have seen further than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants."

Google Scholar is Russified, which means scientific articles, theses, books, abstracts, reviews from academic publishing houses and professional societies, online repositories of universities and other popular scientific and educational sites are open to user access.

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, which are considered "scientific".

The most significant keyword search results will be listed in order of the author's ranking, the number of citations that are associated with it and their relationship to other scientific literature, and the publication ranking of the journal in which it appears.

Thanks to its "quoted in" features, Google Scholar provides access to abstracts of articles that cite the article in question. It is this function, in particular, that provides the citation index, previously available only in the Web of Knowledge. This index can be used for webometric ranking of sites. Thanks to its function "Articles on the topic" Google Scholar presents a list of closely related articles, ranked primarily by how similar the articles are to the original result, but also by the significance of each article.

What do you get from registering with Google Academy?

If before registration Google Academy could only be used as a means of searching for articles by other authors, then after registration, this site will help you track the dynamics of citations of your own works. You can not only see the total number of citations, but also find out who and when referred to your work, build a citation chart and determine the currently popular scientometric indicators.

Also, Academy users can make their profile accessible, and then the link to your profile will be visible to users viewing your work. Perhaps this will help you make useful contacts with colleagues studying the same issues around the world.

Google Scholar can make your work more visible to the scientific community around the world. Google Scholar uses information about electronic library resources to create item-by-item links to library servers in search results. With the help of the database database that is created, the user can find the desired book in the library nearest to him.

Limitations of indexing and criticism of the ranking algorithm

While most academic databases and search engines allow users to select one of the factors (such as relevance, number of citations, or publication date) to rank results, Google Scholar ranks results using a combined ranking algorithm. Google Scholar places particularly heavy weight on the number of citations and words included in the title of a document. As a result, the first search results often contain highly cited articles.

A significant problem with Google Scholar is the lack of data on its coverage. Some publishers do not allow her to index their journals.

Google Scholar does not publish crawl lists of scientific journals. 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, this academic search engine is currently filled with pseudoscientific articles, making it a potentially dangerous database for those doing serious research, from students to scientists. The problem is that Google Scholar strives to index as fully as possible articles appearing in scientific journals. However, many unscrupulous publishers use indexing mechanisms Google Scholar and includes in its index numerous pseudoscientific or insufficiently high-quality publications that would not pass the peer review process in scientific journals.
