Not just Google Scholar's Digest

Comparison of coverage in Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic, Scopus, Dimensions, Web of Science, and OpenCitations' COCI. Now peer-reviewed and available at Scientometrics doi.org/10.1007/s11192… open access version available at arxiv.org/abs/2004.14329

@freddie2310 @MaxRossmann @DrAyselSultan @Google The only reason I could find is that the title contained the words "book review"

@freddie2310 @MaxRossmann @DrAyselSultan @Google I suspect the word "editorial" being in the title (or being the whole title) might have to do with this. Years ago I heard from a colleague who had published an article *about* book reviews, that their article was not indexed in Google Scholar.

@MiguelZapataRos Los estudios donde comparábamos fuentes de datos tenían como objetivo analizar las coberturas, no veo la relación. Es hora de considerar a los indicadores como lo que son, señales, no mediciones. Una cita no es un elemento fungible, intercambiable, especialmente a niveles micro

@GScholarDigest Como se ve en las tablas que he compartido.

Estamos de acuerdo, Google Scholar no evalúa la calidad, solo presenta los datos que recopila automáticamente para que tú tomes una decisión. Como dices, hay que molestarse en ir más allá del indicador y ver lo que hay detrás

@andrepacher @HeinOnline @aallnet @LawLibCongress @SLALegal @LegalRebels @Legal_Times @lawyerist @LawPracticeTips @fastcase @SLAAcad @Google When Google Scholar finds several versions of the same document, it selects one as the "primary version". Usually the version of the publisher is selected, but not always. In this case the title points to HeinOnline, but GS also provides access to an Open Access version

@g3om4c Sorry, no idea. We were aware that they had removed their general contact form, but we didn't know they also had removed the form to apply for inclusion. Some official info would be nice...

This is a fantastic post from @aarontay, really good for helping understand all the emerging open discovery tools and sources incl. @CrossrefOrg musingsaboutlibrarianship.blogspot.com/2021/11/some-m…

"in 2019 COCI found 47% of the citations available in Web of Science, whereas now open citation data sources find 87% of the WoS citations." For Scopus the figure was 44% to 81%! Shows how much difference Elsevier joining made. (1)
