    2323Google and Google Scholar can boost the worldwide visibility and accessibility of your content. We work with publishers of scholarly information to index peer-reviewed papers, theses, preprints, abstracts, and technical reports from all disciplines of research and make them searchable on Google and Google Scholar. This page provides policy and technical information for scholarly publishers and societies.

    27 ** Multiple versions of a work are grouped to improve its ranking. ** In many research areas versions of a work may appear as preprints and conference papers before being published as a journal article. These preliminary versions of a work are often cited in addition to the authoritative journal version. The number of citations to a particular work is an important part of determining its rank in the Google Scholar search results. Grouping versions allows us to collect all citations to all versions of a work. In practice, this can significantly improve the position of an article in the search results.

    2929** Publisher's full-text, if indexed, is the primary version. ** When multiple versions of a work are indexed, we select the full and authoritative text from the publisher as the primary version. We can only do this if we are able to successfully identify, crawl and process the full text of the publisher's version.

    7566** Your content is most welcome. If your works are already online, we may need nothing more than your permission for our crawlers to visit your site. As noted above, an abstract (at least) of each work must be available to non-subscribers who come from Google and Google Scholar. Please [ contact us ](http://www.google.com/support/scholar/bin/request.py) to discuss the details.    
    7667  
    77   2. ** What are the benefits of including my content in Google and Google Scholar?    
    78    
    79 ** Google and Google Scholar can boost the worldwide visibility and accessibility of your content. Our experience shows that scholarly publishers who make their work available to Google search services usually see a significant increase in traffic. Similar results have been reported at several publishing conferences and workshops.    
    80   
    81   3. ** My content is available to subscribers only. Can you include it in Google Scholar?    
    82    
    83 ** Absolutely, as long as you can show a complete abstract (or more) to all users who arrive from Google and Google Scholar. In this way you can let web searchers know your work exists, while still limiting full access to subscribers. Please [ contact us ](http://www.google.com/support/scholar/bin/request.py) for details.    
    84   
    85   4. ** Only the abstracts for my articles are online. Can you index them?    
    86    
    87 ** We strongly recommend indexing full-text versions of your work if you want the most powerful results that Google can provide. But we do work with abstracts, as long as all visitors from Google and Google Scholar can see these abstracts in their entirety.    
    88   
    89   5. ** I publish magazines. Can my articles be part of Google Scholar?    
    90    
    91 ** Google Scholar focuses on scholarly content. We are unable to include popular or trade magazines. If you believe your magazines are suitable primarily for a scholarly audience, please [ contact us ](http://www.google.com/support/scholar/bin/request.py) .    
    92   
    93   6. ** I publish scholarly textbooks and monographs. Can my content be included in Google Scholar?

    9570** For now, Google Scholar indexes only scholarly articles. For textbooks and monographs, we recommend [ Google Book Search ](http://books.google.com) .    
    9671  
    97   7. ** I represent a professional society. Can you index our research articles?    
    98    
    99 ** Yes, as long as our robot software is able to crawl them online. If you don't host the content yourself, you'll need to ask your hosting provider to allow access to our crawlers. You may find we're already working with them to make content available, but it helps if you make it known you'd like this to happen. Please [ contact us ](http://www.google.com/support/scholar/bin/request.py) for more details.    
    100   
    101   8. ** Can you index my school's dissertations and technical reports?    
    102    
    103 ** Yes, as long as our robot software is able to crawl them online. Please ask the administrator of your school or department to [ contact us ](http://www.google.com/support/scholar/bin/request.py) .    
    104   
    105   9. ** Can I see usage statistics for my content?    
     72  3. ** Can I see usage statistics for my content?    
    10673   
    10774** Since users click through to your website, your web server logs should have all the usage statistics.    
    10875  
    109   10. ** Do you charge for referrals from Google Scholar search results?    
    110    
    111 ** Absolutely not. We have no plans to charge for Google Scholar referrals.

    127   3. ** Many of my articles are PDFs with scanned images. Can you index these?    
    128    
    129 ** Possibly. We're glad to index multi-layer PDFs that have images and text in OCR format. (OCR stands for optical character recognition.) We can't index PDFs with just scanned images. If you have many scanned PDFs that lack OCR text, please [ contact us ](http://www.google.com/support/scholar/bin/request.py) .

    13695   
    137 ** Sorry, not at this time. We support only one article per file.    
     96** We strongly recommend preserving the full PDF layout information. We rely on a document's layout to extract metadata, citations and other information which plays a significant role in relevance ranking. If document size or crawl bandwidth are issues, we can work with you to determine a suitable way to crawl your site.

    143   7. ** You're crawling the full text of my work, but I still don't see that as the first link?    
    144    
    145 ** Rest assured, this is not intentional, and may be due to good old-fashioned technical difficulties. For instance, we may be unable to crawl your version, or to extract key information like author and title. If you'll [ email us ](mailto:scholar-publisher@google.com) with a sample query and specific results, we'll be glad to investigate.    
    146   
    147   8. ** I see a 'cached' (or 'View as HTML') link to my access-controlled articles. I need to have this fixed right away! **    
    148    
    149 Of course! Please email us with specific examples of where the links appear; we'll investigate and fix as soon as possible. This is not intentional but may happen due to technical issues. For example, our methodical crawlers may accidentally discover a forgotten alternative interface to your content. You'll need to tell us of all such interfaces, because crawlers can go places where you least expect them. Please [ email us ](mailto:scholar-publisher@google.com) and we'll look into it.

    155 We take variety of factors into account for ordering search results. For more information, please see the Google Scholar [ help page ](help.html) .    
     104  6. ** Is there anything I can do to help rank my articles better?    
     105   
     106** Indeed you can. Our indexing algorithms automatically extract metadata, citations and other information from articles and use them for ranking purposes. Providing authoritative metadata about your articles can help facilitate this and can increase the likelihood of identifying all the citations to your articles. We strongly recommend this approach. Please [ contact us ](http://www.google.com/support/scholar/bin/request.py?contact_type=general) if you would like to work with us on this.

     16##  Google Brand Features Terms and Conditions  
    2517 
    2618If Google approves your request to use any Google trademarks, logos, web pages, screen shots, or other distinctive features ("Google Brand Features"), you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the "Agreement").  
     
    3628You may not assign your rights or delegate your obligations under this Agreement without Google's prior written consent. This Agreement is not intended to benefit, nor shall it be deemed to give rise to, any rights in any third party. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. The venue for any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be in Santa Clara County, California. The parties are independent contractors. Neither party shall be deemed to be an employee, agent, partner or legal representative of the other for any purpose and neither shall have any right, power or authority to create any obligation or responsibility on behalf of the other. The waiver by Google of a breach of any provision hereof shall not be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent allowed by law and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement, the Guidelines for Third Party Use of Google Brand Features, and the Permission Request Form, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

    27  
    28 Use of Google Brand Features  
    29  
    30 ** General Information **    
    31    
    32 Although we'd like to accommodate all the requests we receive from users who want to add a touch of Google to their sites, we are passionate about protecting the reputation of our brand as an objective and fair provider of search results. That means we have to turn down many requests because sites imply that Google is endorsing them or is otherwise affiliated with them. The same applies if Google's trademarks, logos, web pages, screen shots, or other distinctive features ("Google Brand Features" or "Brand Features") are associated with objectionable material, as determined by Google.    
    33    
    34 As a result, we require that you have Google's explicit written permission before using any Google Brand Features. These Brand Features can be used only pursuant to these Guidelines, our [ Terms and Conditions ](brand_terms.html) , and for the specific purposes for which Google has given permission. If you have a written agreement with Google that specifically addresses how you may use its Brand Features, you don't need to go through the approval process here unless you want to do something other than what has been authorized in your existing agreement. Otherwise, the only time you can use Brand Features without advance written permission is if there is clear and express language on our website stating that you can use those Brand Features without first obtaining permission, such as is the case with our search boxes.    
    35    
    36 When you use any of our Brand Features, you must always follow the Rules for Proper Usage included in these Guidelines. In addition, Google may provide you with written requirements as to the size, typeface, colors, and other graphic characteristics of the Google Brand Features. If we provide these requirements to you at the time of our approval, you must implement them before using our Brand Features. If we provide these requirements to you after we initially gave our permission, you must implement them within a commercially reasonable timeframe.    
    37    
    38 ** Approval Process **    
    39    
    40 To request approval, complete the [ Permission Request Form ](request.html) , and send it to us with the information specified in the form. Although we will try to respond within 10 business days, we cannot guarantee that, and you can't use Google Brand Features until we have expressly granted you approval.    
    41    
    42 The approval to use Google Brand Features is limited to the information provided in your request. If your anticipated use changes, before or after, Google grants approval, you must update your request accordingly.    
    43    
    44 Please note that we can only give you permission to use the Google Brand Features. We cannot give you permission to use any brand features belonging to third parties.

    48 Trademark Basics  
    49  
    50 ** What is a trademark? **    
    51    
    52 A trademark is a word, name, symbol or device (or a combination thereof) that identifies the goods or services of a person or company and distinguishes them from the goods and services of others. A trademark assures consumers of consistent quality with respect to those goods or services and aids in their promotion.    
    53    
    54 ** Why is it important to use marks correctly? **    
    55    
    56 Rights to a trademark can last indefinitely if the owner continues to use the mark to identify its goods and services. If trademarks are not used properly, they may be lost and one of the company's most important assets may lose all of its value. Rights may be lost not only because of a trademark owner's improper use of the mark, but through improper use of the trademark by the public.

     16##  When do I need permission to use the Google brand?  
     17 
     18###  About the Program  
     19 
     20Because we are passionate about protecting the reputation of our brands, we are very careful about how our "brand features" (a legal term that includes our trademarks, logos, web pages, screenshots, or other distinctive elements) are used. It is never OK for any of our brand features to be altered, edited or misrepresented.  
     21 
     22All of our brand features are protected by applicable trademark, copyright and other intellectual property laws. If you would like to use any of them on your website, in an ad, in an article or book, or reproduce them anywhere else, you may need to first receive permission from Google.  
     23 
     24First take a look at some these uses:

     35 
     36###  Google Logo or Screenshots  
     37 
     38** Screenshots ** 
     39 
     40You don't need our permission when you want to use a standard, unaltered Google screenshot (an image of our homepage or search results page) in either print (book, magazine, journal, newspaper) or digital (web page, DVD, CD) formats for an instructive or illustrative purpose. Examples include screenshots of:  
     41 
     42* a Google search results page    
     43* search results indicating where sponsored links are    
     44* an Advanced Search page    
     45* search results for a query you show  
     46 
     47This use must be unaltered: You can't superimpose graphics, photos, or ad copy on the screenshot or change the look of the screen-captured image in any other way.  
     48 
     49Please note that using a screenshot of a Google search results page in connection with advertising your products or services (for instance, showing a top ranking on Google) is not considered instructive or illustrative, and therefore is not permitted.  
     50 
     51Screenshots of imagery from Google Maps and Google Earth are special cases. Please refer to the [ Google Maps/Earth guidelines ](geoguidelines.html) for questions on their permitted use.

    24 ** When Do I Need Permission to Use Google Brand Features? **    
    25    
    26 Because we are passionate about protecting the reputation of our brands, we are very careful about how our trademarks, logos, web pages, screenshots or other distinctive features, are used. It is never OK with us for any of our brand features to be altered, edited or misrepresented.    
    27    
    28 All of our trademarks, logos, web pages, screen shots and other distinctive features ("Google Brand Features") are protected by applicable trademark, copyright and other intellectual property laws. If you would like to use any of Google Brand Features on your website, in an ad, in an article or book, or reproduce them anywhere else, you may need to first receive permission from Google. We've tried to make this process as painless as possible.    
    29    
    30 ** Instructive/illustrative screenshots **    
    31 The one instance when you don't need to ask our permission is when you want to use a standard, unaltered Google screenshot in a print (book, magazine, journal, newspaper) or electronic (web page, DVD, CD) format _ for an instructive or illustrative purpose _ . This must be an _ unaltered _ --meaning there are no graphics, photos, or advertising copy superimposed on the screenshot you plan to use, nor have you changed the look of the image in any way--image from most of our products (see special cases below). Examples of instructive or illustrative purposes are: using a screenshot of a Google search results page to show where the sponsored links are located or using a screenshot of an Advanced Search page to illustrate how to conduct an advanced search. Using a screenshot of a Google search results page in connection with advertising your products or services (for instance, trying to show a number one ranking on Google) is not considered instructive or illustrative and therefore is not permitted.    
    32    
    33 If you have any concern that your intended re-use does not fall under this exception, please do get in touch with us by filling out the Permission Request Form after you have read the Guidelines for Third Party Use (the "Guidelines").    
    34    
    35 _ Special cases: Google Maps and Google Earth _    
    36 Two exceptions to the instructive/illustrative screenshots described above are Google Maps and Google Earth. You must get written permission from us to reuse any images from these two products, because we do not own the copyright to all of the imagery or information supplied on these platforms. In order to make use of any images associated with either Google Maps or Google Earth, please read the Guidelines and send in the Permission Request form.    
    37    
    38 Also, we will not consider any request for superimposing advertising or other imagery over a Google Map or Google Earth selection.    
    39    
    40 ** About high-resolution images **    
    41 Please note that except in very specific cases, we are unable to produce custom high resolution screenshots, photos, logos, etc. We hope you will be able to find what you need [ here ](../press/images.html) .    
    42    
    43 ** All other uses **    
    44 So now, if you have determined that you need to apply for permission to use Google Brand Features, please review the Guidelines, which provide an overview of the process and set forth certain things you cannot do. Those Guidelines will lead you to the Permission Request Form, which you need to complete and send to us. Please note that by signing that form, you are agreeing to both the Guidelines and the Google Brand Features Terms and Conditions, which you should carefully read, understand and agree with.    
    45    
    46 Thanks so much for your cooperation.    
    47    
    48 [ ** Go to the Guidelines. ** ](guidelines.html) 
     67** Marketing/Advertising Materials ** 
    4968 
    50    
     69We tend not to broadcast the fact that we have found a great partner, and therefore generally do not approve the use of our logo in third-party marketing materials. This includes online and offline advertising and collateral such as:  
    5170 
    52 (c)2008 Google - [ Home ](/) - [ About Google ](/about.html) - [ We're Hiring ](/jobs/) - [ Site Map ](/sitemap.html) 
     71* Case studies    
     72* Client and referral lists    
     73* Sales presentations    
     74* Print, broadcast, outdoor or online ads    
     75* Product demos    
     76* Signage    
     77* Trade show booths  
    5378 
     79Contact your Google business partner to discuss third-party marketing activities which we could permit.  
     80 
     81We do occasionally refer to partners in our own online and offline marketing materials. Please note that partners promoted in this way do not receive any form of preferential treatment in the actual Google search results (which are generated automatically by computer algorithms) and inclusion on the Google website will not improve the partner's PageRank(tm).  
     82 
     83** Sponsorships ** 
     84 
     85We typically do not approve the use of our logo for events we sponsor. Work with your Google contact to obtain permission for an exception to this policy. We have a separate policy for Google Grants recipients.  
     86 
     87** Holiday Logos (Doodles) ** 
     88 
     89Our holiday logos (or doodles) are featured throughout the year on our homepage. We've created a gallery where you can enjoy them, but we generally don't grant permission for their use by others. We also do not grant permission for users to create and publish their own versions of the Google logo.  
     90 
     91** Manufactured Items ** 
     92 
     93We get requests from lots of entrepreneurs who have imagined a new T-shirt design, a toy, software packaging, or another imaginative product that incorporates the Google logo or a Google product. Unfortunately, we cannot grant permission for these uses.  
     94 
     95** Books or Printed Materials ** 
     96 
     97You don't need our permission when you want to use a standard, unaltered Google screenshot (an image of our homepage, a main product page, or search results page) in print (book, magazine, journal, newspaper) or digital (web page, DVD, CD) formats for an instructive or illustrative purpose. Examples include screenshots of:  
     98 
     99* a Google search results page    
     100* search results indicating where sponsored links are    
     101* an Advanced Search page    
     102* search results for a query you show  
     103 
     104This use must be unaltered: You can't superimpose graphics, photos, or ad copy on the screenshot or change the look of the screen-captured image in any other way.  
     105 
     106Regarding cover art, you cannot use the Google logo (or the name 'Google' using our typeface) on the cover of a publicly-available book or publication without our permission.  
     107 
     108Screenshots of imagery from Google Maps and Google Earth are special cases. Please refer to the Google Maps/Earth guidelines for questions on their permitted use.  
     109 
     110** Film and TV ** 
     111 
     112If you would like to use the Google logo in a commercial TV or film production, please submit your request using this [ Request for Permission form ](http://services.google.com/permissions/filmapplication) .  
     113 
     114###  Google Search Box  
     115 
     116If you'd like to use a Google search box on your website, we offer [ several options ](http://services.google.com/searchcode2.html?accept=on.#standard) . You don't need to obtain permission to use an unaltered Google-branded search box on your site. But you cannot use a Google-branded search box in your marketing creative, so please do not plan on featuring one in your advertising or other marketing collateral.  
     117 
     118###  Google-based Domain Names  
     119 
     120We cannot approve the use of Internet domain names that use the word "Google" or some variation of "Google". For example, we would not approve a site called _ googleXYZ.com _ or _ gogggles.com _ .

Also, the feature is available only if both you and the other person are using the Google Talk client, Google Talk in Gmail, or a third-party client that enables this feature.
