Estamos de acuerdo, Google Scholar no evalúa la calidad, solo presenta los datos que recopila automáticamente para que tú tomes una decisión. Como dices, hay que molestarse en ir más allá del indicador y ver lo que hay detrás
Miguel Zapata-Ros@MiguelZapataRos30 Jun 2022
Replying to @MiguelZapataRos
Vean las listas con resultados inverosímiles. Se mezclan revistas de calidad con otras que, si se molestan en ver artículos, son en su mayoría self report studies, revisiones, hagiografías y exégesis. Google Scholar no evalúa la calidad, sólo aspectos formales Son autómatas 2/3

"in 2019 COCI found 47% of the citations available in Web of Science, whereas now open citation data sources find 87% of the WoS citations." For Scopus the figure was 44% to 81%! Shows how much difference Elsevier joining made. (1)
