scholar (version 0.2.4)

scholar-package: scholar

Description

The scholar package provides functions to extract citation data from Google Scholar. There are also convenience functions for comparing multiple scholars and predicting h-index scores based on past publication records.

Google Scholar cookies

Google does not encourage people to use the scholar website as an API. You will find a number of issues related to this if you follow: https://github.com/jkeirstead/scholar/issues?q=is:issue+cookie

If you try to fetch too many pages, you can expect to see your access to scholar blocked. One step that they do take is to provide a session cookie. Reusing these seems to help. If you wish to write your own code to interact with Google Scholar, we recommend that you use the get_scholar_resp function to carry out the query.
