Unfortunately, I don't think that works at all. Not all universities use education specific TLDs, and not all departments/labs in universities with a domain name under an education specific TLD actually keep there website under that TLD.
Completely random example of such a lab (and if you check publications you'll see they host papers under this domain name) https://www.honeylab.org/ https://www.honeylab.org/

- gpm 4y agoThat one in particular? No clue. I'm not sure what google scholar's criteria are. I know things on utoronto.ca turn up sometimes for a example that does (UofTs non-edu domain name, which is used for most things. Though toronto.edu is also owned by the university and used for some things).
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 4y agoTLD alone would certainly not be enough of a filter. Scholar has to account for scientific publishers that use TLDs like .com and .org and other non-school websites that use ccTLDs. But Scholar proves it is possible to usefully filter for peer-reviewed papers. Filtering is never "perfect". The question is whether it is good enough to be useful.
