Please add Google Scholar to the API, including # of citations and BibTex reference.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is a feature request.

Please add Google Scholar to the API. That in itself would be great. But I
think fantastic tools can be made if the search result also includes the
information currently presented on Google Scholar. In particular

1) The number of citations (and links to them)
2) BibTex reference entry
3) Information whether the paper/content is available as HTML. (And even
better if it is under a Free license.)

Thanks
Anders

Sounds like a good idea. Would be great if you could make an equivalent tool to 
IPVision's patent mapping for paper mapping.

A Google Scholar API would be fantastic (and I was a little surprised when I 
began
searching for it to discover it didn't already exist).

Comment 80 from "reflection" suggests that it will be unlikely for Google to be 
able
to offer an API based on their contracts with commercial publishers. But a 
number of
vendors are offering pre-indexed searching to universities over such commercial
content. (See e.g. Western Michigan's Summon instance -
http://wmich.summon.serialssolutions.com). 

I would like a Google API to be able to offer a free alternative to these 
products
within open source next generation library catalogues like VUFind and 
Blacklight.

This api would be useful. I'm interested in one for asp.net and java. Also, it 
would be 
helpful to provide an api for a citation manager where it would collect 
citation data 
and format it relative to either apa (or other style guides) format.

Original comment by jeremyba...@gmail.com on 13 Nov 2009 at 5:09

Without this API we are limited to going elsewhere (JStor, Elsevier, etc...) 
rather than google for this information.

Google Scholar API upupup

Original comment by caibinb...@gmail.com on 23 Nov 2009 at 7:15

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In the course of my work as the Digital Repository Librarian at North Carolina 
State
University I manage the NCSU Scholarly Publications Repository [1], a database 
of
more than 42,000 publications authored by NC State faculty and staff.

Displaying Cited By data increases both the utility of our repository and 
facilitates
access to related scholarship.  I've been collecting Cited By data from Thompson
Reuters via the ISI/Web of Science TR-Links web service [2]. That data isn't 
public
yet, but a preview can be seen at 
http://www4.ncsu.edu/~jjtuttle/spr-wos/spr-wos.html
 I'm also in negotiations with Scopus to display data using their web service [3].  

Ideally, I'd like to display Google Scholar Cited By data, too.  This would 
make it
easier for faculty to gather data for retention and promotion, as well as 
so-called
'vanity searching'.  By displaying Cited By data from multiple sources it makes 
it
clearer that one index doesn't accurately represent their impact on the 
scholarly
community.  Displaying data together would likely drive traffic to all three 
sites,
in my estimation.

Please provide a GS API.

Thanks,
Jim

I would use the API to create a "how good is your research paper topic" app 
where I
would assign a value to both quantity and quality of search results to rate any
potential topic on a 1-10 scale to indicate how "viable" the topic is for a 
research
paper.  Not too narrrow, not too broad.  An API would be "just right!"

I already use Google Scholar as an API by using a web scraper to get the data I 
need.

It is hypocritical of Google to download all of our web sites and scrape data 
off of
them and yet claim that we cannot do the same on their site. 

Google, you took this data from us, now give it back to us. Whatever deals you 
have
made with publishers to keep this data locked up are unethical. You are only in
business because of the data we (the entire population of internet users) have
allowed you to use. It is time for you to give it back.

I do think it would be a very nice thing to do, indeed. I have used it, and I

Thank you for adding Google Scholar to that API

Here's a use case that I would write:

A Gnome Do (http://do.davebsd.com; Quicksilver-like [but better] launcher for 
GNOME)
plugin that could (among other things):

1. Search Google Scholar for a given query.
2. Return the list of results in Do, from each of which one could:
a) export as BibTeX
b) get # of citations
c) open on web
d) etc.
3) Do other thigns with this; i.e. if BibTeX is selected, merge this citation 
with a
BibTeX file or push it to a citation manager like JabRef or Mendeley

Original comment by jdanow...@gmail.com on 24 Jan 2010 at 7:01

as i publish several time the exact same work, my fans have issues citing the 
good ones.
Thus, i would like to use searches on scholar to identify the best ref to be 
cited in
order to optimize h-number (and other evaluations).
The app would be a piece of code anybody can put on in his own home page with a
message like "please i beg you cite this one and i will wash your car and make 
your
dishes til the end of your life"

Original comment by grosj...@gmail.com on 8 Feb 2010 at 10:31

Yes, this would be a good service to the scientific community. One example of a 
very
useful tool that has practically ceased to exist because of the current 
limitation of
the API is http://pubfeed.cs.toronto.edu/ - a publication alert not based on a
journal or keyword but a selection of relevant papers.

Please let us know if you ever intend to provide an API. If you are unable to 
due to contract obligations or you just 
don't see any commercial merit in providing it at least we can stop asking.

Eprints 3 already provides a fake GS api, but its not the ideal way to do it 
(regex HTML scraping).
