For a discussion of ways to solve the fundamental problem and provide everyone with immediate access to all published research articles, see open access. I and many others have been engaged in advocating for this for a number of years, and there are modest signs of progress.
Even outside a university it can be useful:
Unfortunately, there is no direct way of finding out if you will have access to an article except by trying all the possibilities. GS is useful in at least bringing them together.
you should also try Scirus, which can be set to give free web copies only.
If you are searching for recent biomedical articles, you may do best at PubMed, which will often give listing to a free copy available through PubMed Central
(I intend this as part of an article in WP about how to access journal articles, and would like suggestions for an article name. Most of it is not specific to GS, which may just have a link. I do not necessarily want to add it to the interlibrary loan page, which is general information and what I've just written is subject to very rapid change.) DGG 19:29, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
I've just removed the following from the article:
(emphases added)
As you can see, this paragraph contradicts itself (and jumps around in time to boot). I can't make sense of it; can anyone else? -- zenohockey 19:28, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
It is widely known and cited as listing non-subscription versions. It once did, it no longer does, and this seem ot in the least confusing of contradictory. I have reworded. Please talk before you revert. DGG 03:24, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I've changed 'scientists' to 'scholars' in the first paragraph, in order to more accurately reflect the coverage of GS. I've also added a brief gloss on the phrase 'stand on the shoulders of giants'. fi99ig 21:18, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Any idea whether it extends it's dbase to lulu.com and other releasing mediums of that nature? I've found a lot of great thesis published there in the past and am unsure whether to search there as well as the usual places for academic articles or whether scholar.google covers them all?

I like Scholar. It is so much easier and faster than Web of Science that I use it much more regularly, even though my university pays for WoS. But I have been bitten by it so many times now that I spent the larger part of the day performing the following little survey. I chose a landmark article and counted the number of references citing it, according to GS and according to WoS. Here are the results:
Conclusion: Google Scholar may be convenient and fast, but under no circumstances should it be trusted to give you a full list of citing papers. Interestingly, most of the papers which GS does not list are found if you search directly for them in GS; they just don't appear as works citing the original article. -- Zvika 11:50, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Bloody useless if the work it's pointing at that you're trying to read is on JSTOR or suchlike, which requires a password (bugmenot doesn't work) to use it. Thanks for the easy access to.......articles I can't access... Thanks Google! - Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 08:55, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
but JSTOR will reveal the authors, who you can contact to ask for a PDF or reprint Jerry Vanclay 04:25, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps it would be worth mentioning in the current article that the majority of use of Google Scholar comes from academia, specifically institutions that use it as a tool with their ezproxy servers. That's why you don't have an [[open access] search-modifier, although you can always narrow down the search results via filetype:PDF and other tricks. -- kanzure ( talk) 18:26, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

This part seems to be outdated: "As of December 2006, it provides access to both published versions and on major open access repositories, but does still not cover individual university pages". Nowadays Google Scholar provides links to self-archived versions on personal home pages, etc. But do we have a reliable source for this? — Miym ( talk) 09:11, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

It seems to calculate the h-index and what not now, e.g. http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Ci8Ix08AAAAJ&hl=en Someone should try and find where they announced the introduction of this feature (the official Google blog or something) so it can be added to this article.

GS is a complex project that has changed direction several times. It's history and current state needs to be described at kept up to date, and the BETA warning on the page is certainly appropriate.
What it will be like a month from now, I can not guess, because it does not depend only on Google but upon its sources as well.
DGG 19:29, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to mention that the last statement is both inaccurate/inappropiate and subjective. WP only cites these sources, while Google Scholar is meant to catalogue them. 92.81.85.41 ( talk) 15:34, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
I have major problems with the first paragraph of the article's main page, where it currently says:
Google Scholar is a freely-accessible Web search engine that indexes the full text of scholarly literature across an array of publishing formats and disciplines.
Rather, Internet isn't free, and it sure as heck isn't inexpensive. That Google Scholar doesn't "charge" anything, sure as heck doesn't make it "free." The cost of accessing the information is actually distributed amongst those who believe in, and agree to conduct their transmissions by, the current point to point protocol, and depending on the way the costs are distributed, the costs are far from minimal, and certainly quite far from being free.
The main page to this article could be improved by changing the word "freely-accessible" to inexpensive and rewriting the word order so it makes this clear. Dexter Nextnumber ( talk) 07:50, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
The partnership with Web of Science has born some fruit, apparently in Feb 2015, which hasnt been mentioned here or on the Web of Science page. Another link about it: [1]

Google Scholar and academic libraries here? fgnievinski ( talk) 15:45, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
The final sentence "ASEO has negatives." seems to inadequately describe the citation, and I suggest the sentence is expanded to more accurately describe the negatives rather than just stating that negatives exist, ideally by someone who has experience in the area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deceitful Sloth ( talk • contribs) 09:14, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
