Isn’t this what google scholar was supposed to be about? Hope they figure out how to monetize this before the cash runs out because a properly curated, non fire hose kind of source would be great. Particularly if scientific publishing continues to shift to open source vs. Paywalled.
- popcube 5y agoGoogle scan books which borrow from library to enrich Google book, maybe they will do this again
- teruakohatu 5y agoI use Google Scholar frequently because it is far better and easier to login to than propriety databases like Scopus. I think it is miles ahead. I really do fear it is next on Google discontinue list. They cannot be making any money from it.
- biofox 5y agoLosing Google Scholar would be devastating to research productivity in all fields. Academic databases are critical infrastructure for science.
- derbOac 5y agoI've noticed recently that the trend of Google not returning links older than a certain age has started to extend to articles in open access archives, and maybe to published articles as well.
- Vinnl 5y agoThey've at least figured out a way to make this sustainable, as they've been going at Unpaywall for quite a few years now, and also have a bunch of other cool projects: https://ourresearch.org/ https://ourresearch.org/
- hpiwowar 5y agoYes, Unpaywall is self-sustainable as a result of service-level agreements with companies who use the data in their products (specifically Web of Science, Scopus, many others). We also recently got a grant to help with additional development and integration into OpenAlex: https://blog.ourresearch.org/arcadia-2021-grant/ https://blog.ourresearch.org/arcadia-2021-grant/
