How can I share my academic resources through Google Scholar?
Google Scholar enables academic resource sharing primarily through indexing publications, making your scholarly work discoverable via its search engine. Feasibility requires resource accessibility and proper metadata identification by Google Scholar's crawlers.
Key principles involve maintaining open access to resources or linking to publisher versions, adhering to copyright agreements. Necessary conditions include accurate bibliographic metadata formatted for crawler recognition. Applicability extends to published articles, preprints, theses, and reports with stable URLs or inclusion in repositories indexed by Scholar. Ensure your institutional website or repository permits crawling and provides consistent metadata.
To implement resource sharing, first ensure your work is publicly accessible online via either an indexed platform like your institutional repository or your personal academic website with stable links. Second, create a comprehensive Google Scholar profile listing your publications, manually adding items if necessary. Third, verify visibility by searching your work on Google Scholar periodically. This significantly enhances research dissemination, citation tracking, and scholarly visibility globally.
