What is Google Scholar?
Last updated on August 05, 2021Google Scholar is a Search Engine which works based on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) like Google. Unlike Google, Scholar is more specific to scientific contents where you can pull scholarly contents based on article title, DOI, keywords etc. Google Scholar is not a database like Pub Med or Pub Med Central, where Elsevier provides or shares the scientific content to them for benefit of humanity.
FAQs:
What should I do if I have corrected author’s name or article title in Science Direct but Google Scholar still pulls the incorrect information during search?
Unfortunately we don’t have any influence on Google Scholar and the SEO. We cannot make changes in Google Scholar until SEO of Google Scholar gets updated automatically. It will be done based on the number of searches made in Google Scholar by the readers for the specific keyword or author or article title.
How do I SEO an article?
There are several ways where author can optimize an article for better indexing and ranking in search engines. Usage of strong keywords and synonyms, the location in the text of those keywords and synonyms (i.e., in a title vs. only in a sub-heading), the completeness of the metadata, the use of vector graphics for your graphs and tables and having a public group for a research, are some examples of the techniques.
For more info see this article on optimization, or the Wikipedia entry for SEO.
