Google Scholar, google certified ... or almost

[Christophe]

As you probably all know, Google is a fully robotic engine. This is what makes its power ... but also a fairly serious design gap: very bad pages can appear in the 1st results (we had the recent case with the word "pantone" ...) .

To remedy this, Google is developing a Google Scholar whose pages are "certified" ... but I do not yet know by what exact method ...

Test it here: http://scholar.google.fr/

Finally I don't know if this thing is very relevant ...

Indeed; with the word "pantone engine" the only doc that appears (other than Chinese) is the pantone patent ...

I just tried, it is not convincing indeed.

Google Scholar is dedicated (and fucked up) to the publication of scientific articles (hence scholar), I don't think it is well suited to research in general.

On the other hand I have spas noticed that it puts certified, actually certify to what? I doubt that the entries are manual even if only to classify and correctly extract the names of the different authors. Or even search for articles with similar concepts, even if the vocabulary is different.
