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
