All about Google Scholar
Google Scholar is a freely accessible web search engine.
It indexes the full text or metadata of scholarly literature across an array of publishing formats and disciplines. the Google Scholar index includes most peer-reviewed online academic journals and books, conference papers, theses and dissertations, preprints, abstracts, technical reports, and other scholarly literature, including court opinions and patents from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities, and other websites. This estimate also determined how many documents were freely available on the web.

Ranking algorithm
Google Scholar ranks results with a combined ranking algorithm in a way researchers do, weighing the full text of each document, where it was published, who it was written by, how often and how recently it has been cited in other scholarly literature.
Google Scholar Citations
It provides a simple way for authors to keep track of citations to their articles. You can check who is citing your publications, graph citations over time, and compute several citation metrics. You can also make your profile public
Its citation analysis is automated. Citations update continuously, and with Google indexing even the more obscure academic websites, keeping track of the influence of scholarly work has become easier than ever. You can even ask Scholar to send you an email when there are new citations of your work.
You can add groups of related articles, not just one article at a time; and your citation metrics compute and update automatically as Google Scholar finds new citations to your work on the web.
search and view items in Google Scholar
Searching is as easy as searching in regular Google. Start from the Library’s Homepage to search SHSU’s Google Scholar. Click on the Articles & More tab and locate the Google Scholar search box at the very bottom. Enter a search term or phrase, such as “bird flu.”
Like regular Google, Google Scholar returns the most relevant results first, based on an item’s full text, author, source, and the number of times it has been cited in other sources
Journal Publishers
If you publish a small number of journals, consider using one of the established journal hosting services, e.g., Atypon and Highwire. Aggregators that host many journals on a single website, such as JSTOR or SciELO, often work too. but please check with your aggregator to make sure that they support full-text indexing in Google Scholar.if you have the technical expertise to manage your own website, we recommend the Open Journal Systems software that’s available for download from the Public Knowledge Project.
Google Scholar Metrics
Google Scholar Metrics provide an easy way for authors to quickly gauge the visibility and influence of recent articles in scholarly publications. Scholar Metrics summarize recent citations to many publications, to help authors as they consider where to publish their new research.
To see which articles in a publication were cited the most and who cited them, click on its h-index number to view the articles as well as the citations underlying the metrics.
You can also explore publications in research areas of your interest. To explore specific research areas, select one of the broad areas, click on the “Subcategories” link and then select one of the options.
Browsing by research area is, as yet, available only for English publications. You can search for specific publications in all languages by words in their titles.
