Agree with the prognosis that GS will be axed because it’s not making money but am not so worried. OpenAlex and open community-owned infrastructure FTW! #BarcelonaDeclaration
Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared
Google Scholar Is Doomed
Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?

G Scholar is more and more tainted. At Matilda, we do not have the same problem: we only rely on trusted sources (Crossref, ArXiv, Pubmed, HAL,...) for pub. and we closely control our enrichments. So less publications and less citations but legit ones #researchintegrity #Barcelonadeclaration #ORI
Really important post on Google Scholar: "The persistent deficiencies in for-profit literature aggregators like Google Scholar and the growing instability of publicly-funded information curators should remind scientists that high-quality access to information is no guarantee."
New blog post in which I:
📈 detail a new citations-for-sale scheme in Google Scholar
🧻 make the 395 fake papers generated through this scheme available as a dataset
💤 chastise Google for failing to maintain the most widely used academic search engine
Enjoy!
