Researchers have long loved PDFs for reading papers. You can focus on absorbing the scholarship – the format is simple and clean. Researchers have also long complained about PDFs – we have heard “it takes ages to follow a reference”, “I really need to see the methods section first”, and the like.<br/>
Today, we are launching the Google Scholar PDF Reader to enhance your paper reading. It brings the familiar ease and seamlessness of Scholar to reading PDF papers. In-text citations are now links – with one click, you will see a preview of the cited article and often a version you can read. All of this without losing your place in the paper.<br/>
Scholar PDF Reader displays an automatically computed table of contents. Want to go first to the methods section? Click on its link in the outline. Want to drill down to a specific subsection? Expand sections to quickly find your way there.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/images/blog/reader_reference_outline.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-width="1200" src="https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/images/blog/reader_reference_outline.png"/></a></div>
In-text figure and table mentions are now links too. Click on a link to jump to the figure. Once you are done taking in the details, use the familiar back button in the browser to return to where you were.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/images/blog/reader_figure_mentions.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-width="1200" src="https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/images/blog/reader_figure_mentions.png"/></a></div>
And there is more!<br/>
<ul>
<li>Copy and paste citations as you read</li>
<li>Save citations to a reference manager to cite later</li>
<li>Look up citing and related articles for the paper you are reading</li>
<li>Pick a display theme that’s right for your eyes – light, dark, or night</li>
</ul>
Scholar PDF Reader is available as a Chrome browser extension. Install it from the <a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/google-scholar-pdf-reader/dahenjhkoodjbpjheillcadbppiidmhp?utm_medium=blog&utm_source=scholar.googleblog.com&utm_campaign=launch" target="_blank">Chrome web store page</a> and take it for a spin.<br/>
Happy reading!<br/>

Scholar Metrics provide an easy way for authors to quickly gauge the visibility and influence of recent articles in scholarly publications. Today, we are releasing the <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues">2023 version of Scholar Metrics</a>. This release covers articles published in 2018–2022 and includes citations from all articles that were indexed in Google Scholar as of July 2023.<br />
<br />
Scholar Metrics include journals from websites that follow our <a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar/inclusion.html">inclusion guidelines</a> and selected conferences in Engineering & Computer Science. Publications with fewer than 100 articles in 2018-2022, or publications that received no citations over these years are not included.<br />
<br />
You can browse publications in specific categories such as <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=med_medicalinformatics">Medical Informatics</a>, <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=hum_film">Film</a> or <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=phy_geophysics">Geophysics</a> as well as broad areas like <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=bus">Business, Economics & Management </a> or <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=chm">Chemical & Material Sciences</a>. You will see the top 20 publications ordered by their five-year h-index and h-median metrics. You also can browse the top 100 publications in several languages - for example, <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=pt">Portuguese</a> and <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=es">Spanish</a>. For each publication, you can view the top papers by clicking on the h5-index. <br />
<br />
Scholar Metrics include a large number of publications beyond those listed on the per-category and per-language pages. You can find these by typing words from the title in the search box, e.g., [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&view_op=search_venues&vq=noise">noise</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&view_op=search_venues&vq=climate">climate</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&view_op=search_venues&vq=enfermeria">enfermeria</a>]. <br />

Scholar profiles include a Public Access section to help you track and manage public access mandates for all your articles. Starting today, we’re making it easy to review and export public access reports for each of your funding agencies. You can view the public access status of articles funded by individual agencies, make changes, and export a public access summary for inclusion in your project reports or other uses.<br/>
On the Public Access page in your profile, you’ll see a list of agencies that funded your articles (this is available only for public profiles). You can review the public access report for an agency by clicking its name. On the report, there is an "Export" button to save a copy.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/images/blog/agencyspecific_fullpage.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-width="2048" src="https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/images/blog/agencyspecific_fullpage.png"/></a></div>
Funding agencies can require articles to be available at a particular repository (e.g., PubMed Central), at a group of repositories (any subject or institutional repository), or anywhere on the web. Agency-specific reports take these requirements into account. When an article is available at a suitable location, you’ll see a link to it on the right. If you don’t see the link for an available article, you can provide the link to us. For agencies that specify a particular repository, we’ll also include a link to submit your article to that repository. We’ll crawl and index the links you give us, and will automatically update your public access reports.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/images/blog/agencyspecific_providelink.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" src="https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/images/blog/agencyspecific_providelink.png"/></a></div>
If you see errors on your public access reports, you can correct them. For example, you can remove articles, correct publication dates, or update funding information. For more details, see the <a href="https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/citations.html?1#publicaccess" target="_blank">public access help page</a>. <br/>
Public access mandates help researchers everywhere build on what their colleagues have discovered. We hope this helps all researchers work at the frontier of knowledge.

Today, we are adding a <i>Public access</i> section to Scholar profiles to help you track and manage public access mandates for your articles. If your public Scholar profile has papers covered by public access mandates from research funding agencies, you should see a new section that looks like this:
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nRA8BiAxWis/YFmitOgV4gI/AAAAAAAAEk8/kR-4X0I9IzMqTdw2IZJS7myR-4LrA_nCwCNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/1.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="1134" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nRA8BiAxWis/YFmitOgV4gI/AAAAAAAAEk8/kR-4X0I9IzMqTdw2IZJS7myR-4LrA_nCwCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/1.png"/></a></div>
Click "VIEW ALL" to see the full list of mandated articles, and then click the title of the article to see its mandates.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-chlaKTq2q1U/YFmhJ3nj3gI/AAAAAAAAEk0/_OpfY0oR1yoIG0CYMmPq7BAr5_qd-FvJwCNcBGAsYHQ/s0/3.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1242" data-original-width="2532" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-chlaKTq2q1U/YFmhJ3nj3gI/AAAAAAAAEk0/_OpfY0oR1yoIG0CYMmPq7BAr5_qd-FvJwCNcBGAsYHQ/s0/3.png"/></a></div>
Articles can be publicly available from several sources including the publisher, an institutional repository, a research area specific repository and others. The Google Scholar indexing system tries to include all publicly accessible versions that follow our <a href="https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/inclusion.html" target="_blank">inclusion guidelines</a>.<br/><br/>
For your profile, you can update the list of mandated articles and make corrections. You can also upload a public PDF to your own Google Drive; this makes the article publicly available from your profile and eligible for inclusion in Google Scholar.<br/><br/>
Many funding agencies have added public access mandates to promote broad access to funded research. This helps researchers everywhere build on what their colleagues have discovered. You can browse a <a href="http://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=mandates_leaderboard" target="_blank">list of public access mandates</a> from funding agencies worldwide and view summary statistics for each agency that include the level of public availability of mandated articles overall and over several recent years.<br/><br/>

Your Scholar Recommendations just got better - fresher, more relevant, and easier to scan. If you have a Scholar profile and are actively publishing, your Scholar homepage should have recommended articles that look like this:
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zzsSxfOQfrU/YCSGqhiUT7I/AAAAAAAAEhI/QCwJZIiLBtEXhgCNBRBBXniakMRA54DvgCNcBGAsYHQ/s0/Desktop_Collapse%2BMode.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1770" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zzsSxfOQfrU/YCSGqhiUT7I/AAAAAAAAEhI/QCwJZIiLBtEXhgCNBRBBXniakMRA54DvgCNcBGAsYHQ/s0/Desktop_Collapse%2BMode.png"/></a></div>
The list is organized by date with the latest articles on the top. You can skim over article titles, expand the summaries, and read the full article if available. You can also save articles in your Scholar Library to read them later. To do a more thorough scan, click on the “More articles” links.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oc1yNAOU9qA/YCSG_Qxa6rI/AAAAAAAAEhQ/Vua20S0wOBwEZmHxqB4EyWyn5dHqIEPgwCNcBGAsYHQ/s0/Desktop_Expand%2BMode.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1314" data-original-width="1890" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oc1yNAOU9qA/YCSG_Qxa6rI/AAAAAAAAEhQ/Vua20S0wOBwEZmHxqB4EyWyn5dHqIEPgwCNcBGAsYHQ/s0/Desktop_Expand%2BMode.png"/></a></div>
On your phone, you can also swipe through the abstracts - and save the ones that caught your eye for comfortable reading on a larger screen:
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hlANBC1_QDE/YCSHHlnFM1I/AAAAAAAAEhU/80G3E8tyiOIFcRPGW38V46IM3IikuY4zQCNcBGAsYHQ/s0/Mobile.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1890" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hlANBC1_QDE/YCSHHlnFM1I/AAAAAAAAEhU/80G3E8tyiOIFcRPGW38V46IM3IikuY4zQCNcBGAsYHQ/s0/Mobile.png"/></a></div>
The best part is under the hood. We have greatly expanded both the relevance and the coverage of the recommendations, so most researchers should find something new and interesting if they check weekly. You can, of course, check as often as you wish, or have the recommendations delivered to your email (click the blue "Follow" button in <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations">your profile</a> to subscribe).<br/>
<br/>
To bring you these recommendations, we analyze the articles in your Scholar profile. We determine relevance using statistical models that incorporate the topics of your articles, the places where you publish, the authors you work with and cite, the authors that work in the same area as you and the citation graph. <br/>
<br/>
To get your recommendations, all you need to do is <a href="https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/citations.html#setup">create your Scholar profile</a> with the papers you have written. Recommended articles will automatically start to appear within a few days. <br/>

You can use it to find fulltext on the web or in your university library, format references in widely used citation styles, repeat a web search in Scholar, or simply look up a reference to a paper.</p><p>We're releasing an update with several new features. The window that opens when you click Scholar Button used to look like this:</p><p><img src="https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/images/blog/gsb-bm25-2015.png" style="border:1px solid #ccc;box-shadow:none;box-sizing:border-box" width="320"></p><p>We added a "Save" star and moved the "Cite" button next to it, and added history navigation buttons to the bottom toolbar:</p><p><img src="https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/images/blog/gsb-bm25-2020.png" style="border:1px solid #ccc;box-shadow:none;box-sizing:border-box" width="402"></p><p>You can now save the article to read later - click the small blue star under the article to save it, or the big gray star at the bottom to see all saved articles in your Scholar library. The article is saved in your most recently accessed Scholar account; to use a different one, click the account photo in the upper right.</p><p>We've also added a back button! You can now easily undo query refinements that didn't work out, and even recover the window after you close it - just open it again and click back. Your Scholar Button history is stored locally in your browser for an hour; click the account photo in the upper right to clear it right away.</p><p>Finally, we have improved how Scholar Button identifies the webpage you're reading. Clicking the button while reading a PDF article should now find the article in Scholar, so you can cite it, save it, or explore related articles. If Scholar Button doesn't find the right article, please select its title on the webpage.</p><p>Scholar Button is currently available for <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-scholar-button/ldipcbpaocekfooobnbcddclnhejkcpn">Chrome</a> and <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-scholar-button/">Firefox</a>.</p><p style="color:gray">Posted by Belinda Shi, Kyu Jin Hwang, and Alex Verstak.</p>Alex Verstakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05423565547247889489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181812908636873027.post-72983257874681304342020-07-07T15:51:00.000-07:002020-07-07T15:53:04.237-07:002020 Scholar Metrics Released<br />

Scholar provides several ways to keep up with research in your area. You can set up keyword alerts, get recommendations related to your publications and follow your colleagues’ profiles. <br/><br/>
Today, we are adding another approach to stay up to date in areas of your interest. Now, in addition to following articles by and citations to an author, you can follow research that is <strong>related</strong> to her work.<br/><br/>
To follow related research for an author, simply go to her public profile, click “Follow” and select “New articles related to this author’s research”. Scholar will automatically scan all new publications for articles related to her research and will send them to you as an email alert.<br/><br/>
This is particularly useful if you are a graduate student or an early stage researcher. By following related research for your advisor, your thesis committee and possibly a few key faculty members in your department, you would be able to see the research landscape from their experienced vantage point. <br/><br/>
It is also useful if, like myself, you are an industry or medical professional who isn’t active in the research realm but would like to keep up. By following related research for leading scholars, you will be able to quickly view relevant articles in key areas.<br/><br/>
The astute reader has no doubt guessed that this can also be used to get email alerts for research related to your own work -- go to your <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations">public profile</a>, click “Follow” and select “Recommended articles”. <br/><br/>

We have just made it easier to find your way around them.</p><p>Settings, advanced search, case law, and "my library" moved into the side drawer, which is now present on all screen sizes and all devices. If you're wondering how to get to a Scholar feature that you don't immediately see, it's probably in the drawer; click the menu icon in the upper left of the screen to open it.</p><p><img src="//scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/images/blog/jfk-2016-serp-nav.png"></p>
<p>"Cite" and "save" options under each search result moved to the left and became icons. The quote icon shows formatted citations in a variety of styles - MLA, APA, Chicago, Harvard, Vancouver, - and links to export the citation to EndNote and other bibliography managers. The star icon saves the search result to your personal library, so you can read or cite it later. To review your saved articles, open the drawer and click "<a href="//scholar.google.com/scholar?scilib=1">my library</a>".</p><p><img src="//scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/images/blog/jfk-2016-result.png"></p><p>Author profile pages got a cleaner look, especially on mobile devices. Rest assured, we did not change your citation counts - at least, not intentionally. It is, however, a good time to review your photo - it's now a circle - and to update your affiliation and research interests. Please visit <a href="//scholar.google.com/citations">your profile</a> to review and update it.</p><p style="color:gray">Posted by: Alex Verstak, Software Engineer</p></div>

<br />
Last year we added query suggestions to help students explore topics they may not be familiar with. These suggestions go from a broad search to deeper and more specific areas. But many of you are already well familiar with your research area, and your searches are already specific and detailed. Sometimes, it's good to take a step back and go into a different, but related, space.<br> <br>
Today, we're adding query suggestions for detailed queries. They help researchers explore topics related to the original query. For example, consider the query suggestions for [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=semantic+segmentation+object+detection&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">semantic segmentation object detection</a>]. They cover:<br>
<b>Semantic segmentation:</b>
[<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=semantic+segmentation+rgb+d+images&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">semantic segmentation rgb d images</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=fully+convolutional+networks+for+semantic+segmentation&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">fully convolutional networks for semantic segmentation</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=deep+structured+models+for+semantic+segmentation&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">deep structured models for semantic segmentation</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=indoor+semantic+segmentation&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">indoor semantic segmentation</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=fast+semantic+segmentation&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">fast semantic segmentation</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=semantic+segmentation+scene+classification&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">semantic segmentation scene classification</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=semantic+segmentation+deconvolution+network&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">semantic segmentation deconvolution network</a>]<br>
<b>Object detection:</b> [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=localization+accuracy+object+detection&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">localization accuracy object detection</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=joint+object+detection&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">joint object detection</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=real+time+object+detection&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">real time object detection</a>]<br>
<b>Combination of concepts:</b> [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=rich+features+object+detection+and+segmentation&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">rich features object detection and segmentation</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=semantic+segmentation+context+for+object+detection&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">semantic segmentation context for object detection</a>]<br> <br>
Note that query suggestions appear below search results.<br>
The new query suggestions span all broad areas of research. For example, see
[<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=prions+protein+folding&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">prions protein folding</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=global+stock+market+portfolio+selection&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">global stock market portfolio selection</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=test+salmonella+spp&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">test salmonella spp</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=racial+discrimination+and+gerrymandering&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">racial discrimination and gerrymandering</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=gamma+irradiation+diamond+detector&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">gamma irradiation diamond detector</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=binary+planet+formation&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">binary planet formation</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=aspect+based+sentiment+analysis&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">aspect based sentiment analysis</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=axial+flow+turbojet+engine&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">axial flow turbojet engine</a>]. <br><br>
For now, the additional suggestions are limited to English queries. We plan to expand the coverage to more languages.<br> <br>

Scholarly research is often about the latest findings - the newest knowledge that our colleagues have gleaned from nature. Some articles buck this pattern and have impact long after their publication.<br />
<br />
Today, we are releasing <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=list_classic_articles&hl=en&by=2006">Classic Papers</a>, a collection of highly-cited papers in their area of research that have stood the test of time. For each area, we list the ten most-cited articles that were published ten years earlier.<br />
<br />
This release of classic papers consists of articles that were published in 2006 and is based on our index as it was in May 2017. To browse classic papers, select one of
<a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=list_classic_articles&hl=en&by=2006">the broad areas</a> and then select the specific research field of your interest. For example, <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=list_classic_articles&hl=en&by=2006&vq=bio_agronomycropscience">Agronomy & Crop Science</a>, <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=list_classic_articles&hl=en&by=2006&vq=chm_oilpetroleumnaturalgas">Oil, Petroleum & Natural Gas</a>, and <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=list_classic_articles&hl=en&by=2006&vq=soc_africanstudieshistory">African Studies & History</a>.<br />
<br />
The list of classic papers includes articles that presented new research. It specifically excludes review articles, introductory articles, editorials, guidelines, commentaries, etc. It also excludes articles with fewer than 20 citations and, for now, is limited to articles written in English.

<a href="https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/help.html#library">Google Scholar Library</a> allows you to build your personal collection of articles within Scholar. You can save articles right from the search page, organize them with labels, and use the power of Scholar's full-text search & ranking to quickly find just the one you want. You decide what goes into your library and we provide all the goodies that come with Scholar search results - up to date article links, citing articles, related articles, formatted citations, links to your university’s subscriptions, and more.<br />
<br />
As personal libraries have grown over time, managing them takes more effort. Today we are making organizing your library easier by making it possible to update or export multiple articles with a single click. For example, if you are writing a new paper, you can quickly export the articles to cite to your favorite reference manager; if you are grouping papers that explore different aspects of your research area, you can select all papers in a sub-field and label them with one click.<br />
<br />

Scholar Metrics provide an easy way for authors to quickly gauge the visibility and influence of recent articles in scholarly publications. Today, we are releasing the <a href="http://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues">2016 version of Scholar Metrics</a>. This release covers articles published in 2011–2015 and includes citations from all articles that were indexed in Google Scholar as of June 2016.<br />
<br />
Scholar Metrics include journal articles from websites that follow our <a href="http://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/inclusion.html">inclusion guidelines</a>, selected conference articles in Computer Science & Electrical Engineering and preprints from arXiv and NBER. Publications with fewer than 100 articles in 2011-2015, or publications that received no citations over these years are not included.<br />
<br />
You can browse publications in specific categories such as <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=bio_foodsciencetechnology">Food Science & Technology</a>, <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=eng_sustainableenergy">Sustainable Energy</a>, or <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=med_publichealth">Public Health</a> as well as broad areas like <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=eng">Engineering & Computer Science</a> or <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=hum">Humanities, Literature & Arts </a>. You will see the top 20 publications ordered by their five-year h-index and h-median metrics. You also can browse the top 100 publications in several languages - for example, <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=pt">Portuguese</a> and <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=es">Spanish</a>. For each publication, you can view the top papers by clicking on the h5-index. <br />
<br />
Scholar Metrics include a large number of publications beyond those listed on the per-category and per-language pages. You can find these by typing words from the title in the search box, e.g., [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&view_op=search_venues&vq=journalism">journalism</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&view_op=search_venues&vq=saúde">saúde</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&view_op=search_venues&vq=genes">genes</a>]. <br />
<br />
In this release, we have added per-language pages for five new languages - <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=ru">Russian</a>, <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=ko">Korean</a>, <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=pl">Polish</a>, <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=uk">Ukrainian</a>, and <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=id">Indonesian</a>.<br />

<br />
As a graduate student, I often had to find and read papers for my courses - usually in areas that I wasn't familiar with. Google Scholar had already made it possible to find papers in all areas of research and the key challenge was to find the right keywords to search for. And then, when I joined the Scholar team, I had to quickly come up to speed with yet more research fields.<br /><br />
Today, we are launching query suggestions to help users explore topics they may not be familiar with. When you do a query, the results page may also include related search queries to help you explore different directions within your topic of interest. Query suggestions appear after search results.<br /><br />
For example, see [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=antiparkinson&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">antiparkinson</a>]. As Wikipedia mentions, antiparkinson medications are used to treat/relieve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The suggested queries span several directions:
<ul>
<li>commonly used drugs - [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=antiparkinson+levodopa&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=&qsp=1">antiparkinson levodopa</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=antiparkinson+agonist&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&qsp=1">antiparkinson agonist</a>]</li>
<li>drug interactions - [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=antiparkinson+neuroleptics&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&qsp=1">antiparkinson neuroleptics</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=antiparkinson+antipsychotics&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&qsp=1">antiparkinson antipsychotics</a>]</li>
<li>how these medications function - [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=antiparkinson+mechanism+of+action&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&qsp=1">antiparkinson mechanism of action</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=antiparkinson+actions&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&qsp=1">antiparkinson actions</a>],[<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0,5&q=antiparkinson+pharmacology&qsp=1">antiparkinson pharmacology</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=antiparkinson+bioassay&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C&qsp=1">antiparkinson bioassay</a>]</li>
<li>effects - [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=antiparkinson+side+effects&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&qsp=1">antiparkinson side effects</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=antiparkinson+withdrawal&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&qsp=1">antiparkinson withdrawal</a>]</li>
<li>treatment issues - [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=antiparkinson+adherence&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&qsp=1">antiparkinson adherence</a>]</li>
<li>potential natural substance - [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=antiparkinson+turmeric&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&qsp=1">antiparkinson turmeric</a>]</li>
</ul>
Query suggestions span all broad areas of research. For example, see [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=gps+antenna&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&qsp=1">gps antenna</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=prions&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=&qsp=1">prions</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=vaccination&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&qsp=1">vaccination</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=drug-eluting+stents&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&qsp=1">drug-eluting stents</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=estoppel&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&qsp=1">estoppel</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=conformal+field+theory&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&qsp=1">conformal field theory</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=distributed+database&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&qsp=1">distributed database</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=optimal+stopping+problem&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&qsp=1">optimal stopping problem</a>].<br /><br />
I wish I had access to something like this when I started working on query suggestions. Being able to quickly explore topics like [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=collocations&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C&qsp=1">collocations</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=language+model&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0&qsp=1">language model</a>] and [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=syntactic+parsing&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&qsp=1">syntactic parsing</a>] would have helped quite a bit...<br /><br />
As yet, query suggestions are available for selected English queries. We plan to expand the coverage to more languages and queries.

<br />
As a graduate student and then a faculty member, I spent many a day trying to find references I had seen in articles. Tracking down each reference and then a copy of it that I was able to read often took several steps. With many a slip twixt the cup and the lip. <br /><br />
To help researchers quickly lookup references, Scholar now automatically identifies queries that are likely to be looking for a specific paper. For such queries, it tries hard to find the intended paper and a version that that particular user is able to read. You can lookup full references, e.g.: <br /><br />
<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=King+CY%2C+Diaz-Avalos+R+%282004%29+Protein-only+transmission+of+three+yeast+prion+strains.+Nature+428%3A+319%E2%80%93323.&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">King CY, Diaz-Avalos R (2004) Protein-only transmission of three yeast prion strains. Nature 428: 319–323.</a> <br /><br />
<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=Wong+PC%2C+Pardo+CA%2C+Borchelt+DR%2C+Lee+MK%2C+Copeland+NG%2C+Jenkins+NA%2C+Sisodia+SS%2C+Cleveland+DW%2C+Price+DL+%281995%29+An+adverse+property+of+a+familial+ALS-linked+SOD1+mutation+causes+motor+neuron+disease+characterized+by+vacuolar+degeneration+of+mitochondria.+Neuron&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">Wong PC, Pardo CA, Borchelt DR, Lee MK, Copeland NG, Jenkins NA, Sisodia SS, Cleveland DW, Price DL (1995) An adverse property of a familial ALS-linked SOD1 mutation causes motor neuron disease characterized by vacuolar degeneration of mitochondria. Neuron 14:1105–1116.</a> <br /><br />
<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=Accetta%2C+F.+S.%2C+Zoller%2C+D.+J.%2C+%26+Turner%2C+M.+S.+1985%2C+Phys.+Rev.%2C+D31%2C+3046&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">Accetta, F. S., Zoller, D. J., & Turner, M. S. 1985, Phys. Rev., D31, 3046</a> <br /><br />
<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=Watanabe%2C+Y.%2C+%26+Komatsu%2C+E.+2006%2C+Phys.+Rev.+D%2C+73%2C+123515&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">Watanabe, Y., & Komatsu, E. 2006, Phys. Rev. D, 73, 123515</a> <br /><br />
You can lookup article titles: <br /><br />
<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Emerald%3A+A+general%E2%80%90purpose+programming+language&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5">Emerald: A general‐purpose programming language</a> <br /><br />
<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=Compelling+transgenetic+evidence+for+transmission+of+bovine+spongiform+encephalopathy+prions+to+humans&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=">Compelling transgenetic evidence for transmission of bovine spongiform encephalopathy prions to humans</a> <br /><br />
If all you remember is some of the authors and words from the title, that works in many cases too: <br /><br />
<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=einstein+rosen+podolsky+1935&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5">einstein rosen podolsky 1935</a><br /><br />
<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=riedel+gibson+active+disks+&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5">riedel gibson active disks</a><br /><br />
You can cut-and-paste references, type what you remember of the paper, or better still use the <a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar_settings?sciifh=1&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5#4">Scholar Button</a> (available for Chrome, Firefox and Safari).<br /><br/>
The astute reader has no doubt already figured out that this feature can be embedded on other web sites and can be used by libraries, publishers, teachers and others to help their own readers and students track down scholarly articles. To construct a Scholar lookup URL for an article title or a full reference, URL-escape the text and append it to <i>https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=</i>. E.g., here is a link to one of our recent articles:<br /><br />
<a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=On+the+shoulders+of+giants%3A+The+growing+impact+of+older+articles">https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=On+the+shoulders+of+giants%3A+The+growing+impact+of+older+articles</a>. <br /><br />
We would like to thank Cliff Chiung Yu Lin for his contributions in making this feature possible.

Scholar Metrics provide an easy way for authors to quickly gauge the visibility and influence of recent articles in scholarly publications. Today, we are releasing the <a href="http://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues">2015 version of Scholar Metrics</a>. This release is based on citations from all articles that were indexed in Google Scholar as of mid-June 2015 and covers articles published in 2010–2014.<br />
<br />
Scholar Metrics include journal articles from websites that follow our <a href="http://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/inclusion.html">inclusion guidelines</a>, selected conference articles in Computer Science & Electrical Engineering and preprints from arXiv, SSRN, NBER, and RePEc. As in previous releases, publications with fewer than 100 articles in the covered period, or publications that received no citations are not included.<br />
<br />
You can browse publications in specific categories such as <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=hum_africanstudieshistory">African Studies & History</a>, <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=eng_computervisionpatternrecognition">Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition</a> or <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=med_oralmaxillofacialsurgery">Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery</a> as well as broad areas like <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=bus">Business, Economics & Management </a> or <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=chm">Chemical & Material Sciences</a>. You will see the top 20 publications ordered by their five-year h-index and h-median metrics. Since articles published in 2009 are not included anymore, most publications have a renewed h-core (the top h most cited articles) that you can see by clicking on the h-index number.<br />
<br />
Scholar Metrics also includes a large number of publications beyond those listed on the per-category pages. You can find these by typing words from the title in the search box, e.g., [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&view_op=search_venues&vq=stem+cells">stem cells</a>], [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&view_op=search_venues&vq=enfermagem">enfermagem</a>], or [<a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&view_op=search_venues&vq=conservation">conservation</a>]. <br />
<br />
Fun fact: while computing the 2015 metrics, we saw over 9,000 different ways to refer to the <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&view_op=search_venues&vq=cvpr">IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition</a> and over 4,000 ways to refer to the <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=search_venues&vq=AAAI+Conference+on+Artificial+Intelligence">AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence</a>. <br />
<br />

Recently, I spent a few days organizing my uncle's papers. He was a graduate student in the 60s and a faculty member for the rest of his life. Going over his papers was like walking through the history of scholarly communication. One of the fascinating things I found were pre-printed postcards for requesting article reprints.<br />
<br />
Each institution printed these postcards for its researchers. They included the institution address and a template request. To request a reprint, you would fill in the address of the author and some information about the paper you were interested in and drop it in mail. And hope for a response in six to ten weeks. Here are a couple of requests that my uncle received.<br /> <br /><br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4VDXtmnKRLU/VMbDs0R5uFI/AAAAAAAAAa0/X4EmE1gKVbc/s1600/reprint-request-1.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4VDXtmnKRLU/VMbDs0R5uFI/AAAAAAAAAa0/X4EmE1gKVbc/s1600/reprint-request-1.jpg" height="304" width="480" /></a>
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FBa5ATEZs3I/VMbD0vxuUsI/AAAAAAAAAbE/bPbPbckcYs8/s1600/reprint-request-3.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FBa5ATEZs3I/VMbD0vxuUsI/AAAAAAAAAbE/bPbPbckcYs8/s1600/reprint-request-3.jpg" height="342" width="480" /></a>
<br />
<br />
Much has changed since those days. Journal archives have moved online and email zips across the world in seconds. It is hard to imagine today how researchers of the day moved the mountains that they did.

A significant increase in the rate of publication over this time period might lead one to expect a corresponding decrease in the fraction of citations to older articles. However, this trend is counteracted by increasingly broad availability of archival content, and by universal availability of comprehensive relevance-ranked search. Overall, we found that the impact of older articles had grown over 1990-2013, and that the growth had accelerated over the second half of this time period. -- Alex Verstak</div>

<div>In this paper, we examine the evolution of the impact of older scholarly articles. We attempt to answer four questions. First, how often are older articles cited and how has this changed over time. Second, how does the impact of older articles vary across different research fields. Third, is the change in the impact of older articles accelerating or slowing down. Fourth, are these trends different for much older articles.</div><br>
<div>To answer these questions, we studied citations from articles published in 1990-2013. We computed the fraction of citations to older articles from articles published each year as the measure of impact. We considered articles that were published at least 10 years before the citing article as older articles. We computed these numbers for 261 subject categories and 9 broad areas of research. Finally, we repeated the computation for two other definitions of older articles, 15 years and older and 20 years and older.</div><br>
<div>There are three conclusions from our study. First, the impact of older articles has grown substantially over 1990-2013. In 2013, 36% of citations were to articles that are at least 10 years old; this fraction has grown 28% since 1990. The fraction of older citations increased over 1990-2013 for 7 out of 9 broad areas and 231 out of 261 subject categories. Second, the increase over the second half (2002-2013) was double the increase in the first half (1990-2001). Third, the trend of a growing impact of older articles also holds for even older articles. In 2013, 21% of citations were to articles >= 15 years old with an increase of 30% since 1990 and 13% of citations were to articles >= 20 years old with an increase of 36%.</div><br>
<div>Now that finding and reading relevant older articles is about as easy as finding and reading recently published articles, significant advances aren't getting lost on the shelves and are influencing work worldwide for years after.</div><br>
