@article{fu2014academic, abstract = {By means of their academic publications, authors form a social network. Instead of sharing casual thoughts and photos (as in Facebook), authors select co-authors and reference papers written by other authors. Thanks to various efforts (such as Microsoft Academic Search and DBLP), the data necessary for analyzing the academic social network is becoming more available on the Internet. What type of information and queries would be useful for users to discover, beyond the search queries already available from services such as Google Scholar? In this paper, we explore this question by defining a variety of ranking metrics on different entities—authors, publication venues, and institutions. We go beyond traditional metrics such as paper counts, citations, and h-index. Specifically, we define metrics such as }, author = {Fu, TomZ.J. and Song, Qianqian and Chiu, DahMing}, doi = {10.1007/s11192-014-1356-x}, interhash = {a39d784173e693ac65979737e96c2a3c}, intrahash = {de2f3434421912af52e355578e147b0a}, issn = {0138-9130}, journal = {Scientometrics}, language = {English}, number = 1, pages = {203-239}, publisher = {Springer Netherlands}, title = {The academic social network}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11192-014-1356-x}, volume = 101, year = 2014 } @article{haley2014ranking, abstract = {Recently, Harzing's Publish or Perish software was updated to include Microsoft Academic Search as a second citation database search option for computing various citation-based metrics.

The new database delivers significantly smaller scores for all metrics, but the rank correlations across the two databases for the h-index, g-index, AWCR, and e-index are significantly correlated, especially when the time frame is restricted to more recent years.

Additionally, selfelaborated data is offered, which are intended to provide current evidence about the popularity of these tools on the Web, by measuring the number of rich files PDF, PPT and DOC in which these tools are mentioned, the amount of external links that both products receive, and the search queries frequency from Google Trends. The poor results obtained by MAS led us to an unexpected and unnoticed discovery: Microsoft Academic Search is outdated since 2013. Therefore, the second part of the working paper aims at advancing some data demonstrating this lack of update. For this purpose we gathered the number of total records indexed by Microsoft Academic Search since 2000. The data shows an abrupt drop in the number of documents indexed from 2,346,228 in 2010 to 8,147 in 2013 and 802 in 2014. This decrease is offered according to 15 thematic areas as well. In view of these problems it seems logical not only that Microsoft Academic Searchwas poorly used to search for articles by academics and students, who mostly use Google or Google Scholar, but virtually ignored by bibliometricians}, author = {Orduna-Malea, Enrique and Ayllon, Juan Manuel and Martin-Martin, Alberto and Lopez-Cozar, Emilio Delgado}, interhash = {4502aa3a64de2197a1a3724d2ed43f8d}, intrahash = {ab883378446caed67ceb55ab219917ee}, note = {cite arxiv:1404.7045Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures, 6 tables}, title = {Empirical Evidences in Citation-Based Search Engines: Is Microsoft Academic Search dead?}, url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/1404.7045}, year = 2014 } @article{Borys.2008, abstract = {Steht ein Mensch mit geschlossenen Augen in der freien Natur, dann kann er sich schon allein aus dem, was er hört, ein Bild der Umgebung machen.
