Not sure, if this is the right place to report a possible cause of a bug that leads to a non-working google scholar metadata retrieval for some PDFs. I noticed that when I'm in the network of the university, the retrieval works only for some PDFs. For others, the no search result is returned because the metadata search does not finish (there is an information saying "Finished 0 of 1 Request(s)" and an endless rotating circle).
I suggest this problem is related to extra information added to Google Scholar if you are in the university network such as a link to Web of Science or a link that the full text is available through the university library. Somehow docear's metadata scraper gets confused by this and stops working. You may find screenshots and logs of a working and a non-working example under https://kartoffelsalat.ddns.net:8001/d/586327a604/
