"Am 18. November 2004 ist die Beta-Version eines neuen Suchdienstes von Google in Betrieb gegangen: Google Scholar (http/scholar.google.com/), das in Zusammenarbeit mit zahlreichen Fachverlagen entstand, soll Studenten und Wissenschaftlern als erste Anlaufstelle bei der Suche nach akademischen Quellen dienen, heißt es bei den Betreibern. Google Scholar erfasst Bücher, wissenschaftliche Abhandlungen, technische Dokumente, Fachzeitschriften und sonstige Literatur, darunter auch Quellen, die via Open Access frei verfügbar sind, zusammen ca. 1,630.000 Dokumente (im Vergleich dazu verzeichnet das Web of Knowledge ca. 18,500.000 und Scopus 26,733,641 Dokumente). Neben Links zu weiterführenden Bibliotheks-Recherchen bieten die Ergebnislisten auch einen Überblick darüber, wie oft das gefundene Dokument in anderen Publikationen zitiert wurde. Die Trefferliste ist nach absteigender Zitierhäufigkeit gereiht; die Treffer werden zusätzlich aufgewertet, wenn sie ihrerseits von vielzitierten Artikeln zitiert werden. Google Scholar kommt vorerst noch ohne Werbung aus, Branchenkenner rechnen aber damit, dass sich die Sparten-Suchmaschine schon bald zu einer profitablen Angelegenheit für die Betreiber entwickeln wird. "Wirtschaftlich zielt der Dienst darauf ab, akademische Inhalte mit Werbung für hochwertige Produkte und Dienstleistungen zu verknüpfen -- und ich glaube das Konzept geht auf", meint John Sack von der Stanford University. Mark Chillingworth meint sogar: "Google Scholar looks like being a bigger headache to AM services like ISI Web of Knowledge and the newly launched Scopus from Elsevier." [!] Die weitere Entwicklung wird zeigen, ob diese Vermutung berechtigt ist. Am 8. Dezember hat die American Chemical Society Klage gegen Google Scholar wegen der Namensähnlichkeit mit dem SciFinder Scholar eingereicht. Google-Sprecher Steve Langdon wollte sich zu dem Sachverhalt nicht im Detail äußern, sagte lediglich, dass sein Unternehmen von der Nutzung des Begriffs Scholar überzeugt ist und die Klage der ACS gegenstandslos ist."
