“…23 Using the Google Trends tool, I showed the following parameters: the entire world and the period from 1 January 2004 to 12 November 2019. Additionally, I decided not to make the categories more precise, this avoiding a thematic narrowing-down, of particular importance given the interdisciplinary nature of the subject scope between IT, business, law and, as mentioned before, legal service, technology, and management (López-Cózar et al, 2018). The Google Trends tool confirmed the dominant frequency of queries for the term legal technology (38/100 on Chart 5 Initial thematic map showing 9 themes (with the number of assigned codes).…”

The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the sector of legal services has resulted in the emergence of a new category of services known as legal technology (legal tech). This article aims at defining the current state of research concerning the matter, confirming its interdisciplinary nature and examining the level of its popularity. The strategy assumed for the article has influenced the order and sequence of the topics covered starting from an introduction to legal technology together with analysis of the context of the definition of the term (legal tech) (“Introduction” section), through a detailed discussion of the methodology of systematic literature review, its results and an appraisal of the popularity of the notions (“Materials and Methods” and “Bibliometric Analysis” sections), the application of the thematic analysis method (“Thematic Analysis of the Reference Repository” section), Google Trends analysis (“Analysis of the Popularity of the Terms ‘Legal Technology’ or ‘Legal Tech’ (Google Trends)” section), and finally the conclusions (“Conclusions” section). The research methodology covers a systematic literature review, quantitative bibliometric analysis, the thematic analysis method, and — complementarily — popularity analysis performed using the Google Trends analytical tool. The article confirms the multidisciplinary nature of legal technology as a subject matter, indicating the thematic categories corresponding with the notion under investigation. It contains a description of the geographical segmentation and difference in that regard at a global level. The author has verified the presence of publications on legal technology and shown that the future of the legal services sector lies in an interdisciplinary juxtaposition of the classic legal sciences with entirely new areas, i.e. IT, artificial intelligence, and data analysis.

“…Google Scholar 28 is a freely accessible academic search engine launched in 2004 and aimed at facilitating the discovery of academic literature worldwide (Ortega, 2014). To accomplish with this overarching goal, Google Scholar employs user agents (web applications) that automatically discover and scan websites by following hyperlinks from one webpage to another (Delgado López-Cózar et al, 2017). This way, Google Scholar parses the entire academic web (websites of universities, scientific publishers, repositories, aggregators, library catalogues, and any other web spaces where they might find academic-like materials).…”

Scientific software is a fundamental player in modern science, participating in all stages of scientific knowledge production. Software occasionally supports the development of trivial tasks, while at other instances it determines procedures, methods, protocols, results, or conclusions related with the scientific work. The growing relevance of scientific software as a research product with value of its own has triggered the development of quantitative science studies of scientific software. The main objective of this study is to illustrate a link-based webometric approach to characterize the online mentions to scientific software across different analytical frameworks. To do this, the bibliometric software VOSviewer is used as a case study. Considering VOSviewer’s official website as a baseline, online mentions to this website were counted in three different analytical frameworks: academic literature via Google Scholar (988 mentioning publications), webpages via Majestic (1,330 mentioning websites), and tweets via Twitter (267 mentioning tweets). Google scholar mentions shows how VOSviewer is used as a research resource, whilst mentions in webpages and tweets show the interest on VOSviewer’s website from an informational and a conversational point of view. Results evidence that URL mentions can be used to gather all sorts of online impacts related to non-traditional research objects, like software, thus expanding the analytical scientometric toolset by incorporating a novel digital dimension.

“…Today, the majority of students and scholars are beginning to scan educational information in GS [8] [9]. Therefore, publications that are absent from the consequences pages of Google Scholar may also result in large readership losses and maybe even a decline in citations [10]. Anne-Wil Harzing in [11] claimed that GS can be used as a tool for citation analysis and described the benefits of GS over the ISI Web of Science along with the advantages and disadvantages of each tool.…”

Maximizing visibility by using academic profiling sites is very crucial in the academic world to improve the readership of research papers published and constant evaluation of research quality. In this article, the authors focused on the visibility of Pakistani University scholars on Google Scholar (GS). An intelligent Web Bot (MAKGBOT) was developed to collect the scholarly data of all Pakistani scholars, whose data is publicly available on Google Scholar. The findings of this research show that 87% of Pakistani universities have a presence on Google Scholar. It analyzes the research performance of scholars based on the last five years' data from 2016 to 2020. Furthermore, the analysis reports the level of scholarly activities of all provinces and autonomous areas of Pakistan. This paper concludes by discussing the ethical issue of misrepresentation of information on the public profile and its consequences on the rankings of legitimate scholars.
