Web-Scraper for Google Scholar Updated!

Web-Scraper for Google Scholar Updated! by Kay Cichini.

From the post:

I have updated the Google Scholar Web-Scraper Function GScholarScaper_2 to GScholarScraper_3 (and GScholarScaper_3.1) or it was deprecated due to changes in the Google Scholar html-code. The new script is more slender and faster. It returns a dataframe or optionally a CSV-file with the titles, authors, publications & links. Feel free to report bugs, etc.

An R function to use in web-scraping Google Scholar.

Remember, anything we can “see,” can be “mapped.”

Clunky interfaces and not using REST can make capture/mapping more difficult but local delivery means data can be captured and mapped. (full stop)
