Do you have an ever-growing pile of papers that you absolutely must read? Extended outlines to the rescue! Today, we are adding AI outlines to Scholar PDF Reader to help you read papers both quickly and in depth.
An AI outline is an extended table of contents for the paper. It includes a few bullets for each key section. Skim the outline for a quick overview. Click on a bullet to deep read where it gets interesting - be it methods, results, discussion, or specific details.

AI outlines are, as yet, available for selected papers in English. They are enabled when you click a PDF link in Google Scholar. For other PDFs, the regular section outline is displayed and you can click on the AI Outline icon to request one.

If you already have Scholar PDF Reader, it will be updated, sometime over the next week or so, to include AI outlines. You can also update the Reader yourself by going to the Chrome Extensions page (enter chrome://extensions in the address bar), enabling “Developer mode” on the top right of the page and clicking the “Update” button on the top left.
If you don’t yet have the Reader, you can install it from its Chrome web store page. In addition to AI outlines, Scholar PDF Reader has much else to help you read faster – one-click preview of cited articles, linked figure and table mentions, citing and related articles and light/dark modes.
Here is hoping Scholar PDF Reader helps researchers everywhere read all that is on their pending paper piles quickly and thoroughly.

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 2024 version of Scholar Metrics. This release covers articles published in 2019–2023 and includes citations from all articles that were indexed in Google Scholar as of July 2024

Scholar Metrics include journals from websites that follow our inclusion guidelines and selected conferences in Engineering & Computer Science. Publications with fewer than 100 articles in 2019-2023, or publications that received no citations over these years are not included.

You can browse publications in categories such as Ocean & Marine Engineering, Drama & Theater Arts or Forests & Forestry. 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, Portuguese and Spanish. For each publication, you can view the top papers by clicking on the h5-index.

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., [sustainability], [logistics], [salud publica].

For more details, see the Scholar Metrics help page.

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.Read More

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.
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.
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.

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.

And there is more!

• Copy and paste citations as you read
• Save citations to a reference manager to cite later
• Look up citing and related articles for the paper you are reading
• Pick a display theme that’s right for your eyes – light, dark, or night

Scholar PDF Reader is available as a Chrome browser extension. Install it from the Chrome web store page and take it for a spin.
Happy reading!

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.Read More

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.
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.

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.

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 public access help page.
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.

Found an interesting paper and don’t have time to read it right now? Today we are adding a reading list to your Scholar Library to help you save papers and read them later.

You can also use it to save papers you find off-campus but want to read on-campus where you have access to the full text, or papers you find on your smartphone but want to read on a larger screen.

To add a paper to your reading list, click “Save” and add the “Reading list” label. To use this feature, you need to be signed in to your Google account.

To get to your reading list, click “My library”:

…and select “Reading list” in the sidebar.

To read the paper, click the [PDF] or [HTML] link next to its title.

After reading a paper, click "Archive" or "Delete" to remove it from your reading list. Archived papers are kept in your library for later reference; deleted papers are removed from your library.

Now you can gather papers as you go, block off a good chunk of time, and dig into the details.
