When trying to access Google Scholar, you may sometimes run into the following error: “ERROR for site owner: Invalid domain for site key.” This can happen when too many people are accessing Google Scholar through our proxy server. Try using this search box without the proxy server (choose a new browser or disconnect/reconnect your internet):.
If the bibliographic data listed in Google Scholar is mostly correct, but you still can’t find many of your papers there, then it could be a problem with the crawl. Check that your website allows indexing by Google search robots.
It is possible that citations to your work are not recognized by Google Scholar because of errors in (or incompleteness of) the reference string. Such ‘stray’ citations can be corrected, see Anne-Wil Harzing’s guide to correcting stray citations in Google Scholar. Note that the same problem occurs in all citation databases to some extent.
How do I add missing citations to Google Scholar?
So far, there is no way to add missing citations manually. Google Scholar does not index some journals. If one of your articles were cited by a journal article that Google Scholar does not index, the citation would not appear in your google scholar account.
What is Google Scholar and how does it work?
Google Scholar uses automated software, known as “robots” or “crawlers”, to fetch your files for inclusion in the search results. It operates similarly to regular Google search.
Our answer is that if Paper B cant be found in Google scholar you can hope that the author of paper B will upload it somewhere that google scholar will eventually pick up. Unfortunately in many cases Paper B is already in Google scholar but the citation still doesnt go to your paper.
Is it possible to report errors in Google Scholar?
Unfortunately in many cases Paper B is already in Google scholar but the citation still doesnt go to your paper. In such cases not sure what you can do as i suspect reporting individual errors will be ignored by google.
Another thing we wanted the answer to was does Google Scholar review the integrity of its data?
Google Scholar cannot review the integrity or the quality of the data going into its pipeline. As with the rest of the web, you are working with whatever data Google’s spiders can glean. Often, that data has errors. Papers will have garbled titles.
Can I change the articles in my Google Scholar profile?
You can change the articles in your profile, but citations to them are computed and updated automatically as we update Google Scholar. To change the “Cited by” counts in your profile, you would need to have them updated in Google Scholar.
