Extracts source-backed public Google Scholar profiles with identity details, period metrics, publication links, interests, and rich co-author data.

What this Actor collects

The Actor converts a public Google Scholar profile into a source-backed researcher record containing identity and affiliation details, citation metrics by period, interests, publication links, co-author details, and retrieval provenance.

  • Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
  • Stores source-backed fields defined by the 24-field dataset schema.
  • Omits optional fields when the source does not expose a value instead of writing nulls or fabricated placeholders.

Use cases

  • Researcher and affiliation discovery
  • Citation-metric and publication analysis
  • Interest and co-author network enrichment

Provide input in JSON. Fields marked required must be supplied. The Default / example column shows a schema default when one exists; otherwise it shows a documented prefill or fixture value.
