The Google Scholar blog announced some changes to their service, and in particular some enhancements to Google Scholar Citations.
Might be worth checking out if you’re into that kind of thing.
Google Scholar is one of the mainstay tools that my colleagues and I use in our day-to-day jobs. I use it for everything from helping me identify potential reviewers, check conflicts of interest and determining the academic standing of an author (through their h-index, for example).
For all its excellence, GS doesn’t get as much attention or new features as many of the better known Google properties. Not least of which is the lack of a Google Data API to the service, which would be immensely useful.
Earlier this week, Google launched the Google Scholar Blog. Hopefully, this heralds a resurgence in development of new features for GS.
