Noted information scholar Peter Jasco, PhD, has published a critique of Google Scholar’s handling of article metadata. While basic topical searching produces good results, author-based searching or citation searching is problematic: Google’s algorithms create phantom authors for millions of papers. They derive false names from options listed on the search menu, such as P Login (for Please Login). Very often, the real authors are relegated to ghost authors deprived of their authorship along with publication and citation counts. In the scholarly world, this is critical, as the mantra “publish or perish” is chang...
