“…Meanwhile, Microsoft Academic
Search (MAS), which launched in
2009 and has a tool similar to
Google Scholar, has over the past
few months added a suite of nifty
new tools based on its citation
metrics (go.nature.com/u1ouut).
These include visualizations of
citation networks (see 'Mapping the
structure of science'); publication
trends; and rankings of the leading
researchers in a field.”
11. Analyst Coverage
Outsell: 10 to Watch
Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic Search
“Two giants from outside the main STM arena threaten to shake up the space for STM
metrics and analytical services. Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic Search announced
new functionalities that could disrupt those offered as commercial services from Thomson
Reuter’s Web of Knowledge and Elsevier’s Scopus.”
“Now Google Scholar is offering its own citation tracker functionality – free to use, of
course – that can allow authors to calculate performance metrics such as the h-index.
Microsoft, meanwhile, has focused on adding functionality to its search results, such as
dynamic lists of top authors/publications/journals/organisations.”
12. Outsell: A compelling user experience
• “…There are a number of interesting
features here which make it a good
alternative to Google Scholar
[emphasis added] – in particular, …it
provides some nice graphics, and
some handy links in the left bar to
refine your search by particular
authors, journals or keywords.
• “The other tools on the Microsoft
academic site are really well-
implemented and a lot of fun as
well, particularly if you’re a
published researcher.
• “You can use the co-author graph
and citation graph tools to
generate beautiful visual
representations of who’s citing your
work, or who you’re connected to
through authorship…”*

34. Next up…
• Growth
– More content coverage
– Authenticated Access / Library Links (Associate Member)
– Committed to implementing CrossMark
– Exploring partnerships
– New usage scenarios (including data citation)
• Expanded content types (Founding Sponsor)
• Our Commitments
– MAS is a web service for researchers, by researchers.
– We intend to be an open platform for the community, and we
want to commit to the community to keep this service
open, transparent, and a “sandbox” available to researchers for
exploration and experimentation.
– We are very interested to evolving this service to better represent
how science/academia works. As protocols and/or standards
emerge, we hope to embody these as part of MAS moving forward.
