The main points in summary:<\/p>\n<p>* <strong>Intake and update:<\/strong> Google intakes, refreshes and updates very quickly.<\/p>\n<p>* <strong>Automated detection:<\/strong> The Google bot spots and indexes academic articles wherever those are located.<\/p>\n<p>* <strong>Relevancy ranking:<\/strong> It&#8217;s certainly not perfect, but is vastly better than anyone else&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>* <strong>Clear and fast:<\/strong> Simple interface, a few useful widgets and filters.  Additional features are accessed only via typed-in search modifiers or the well-hidden &#8220;Advanced&#8221; form.<\/p>\n<p>* <strong>Cross-platform:<\/strong> Scholar can be tweaked to become a seamless gateway into paid subscription services.<\/p>\n<p>I would also add&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>* <strong>De-duplication <\/strong>in results.
