Re: Which databases can Google Scholar crawl?

One important point I have not seen covered in this debate is how deep GS is indexing the different sources. It is obvious that for many of them GS indexes the whole text, including the litterature list, while from other sources they might just get the bibliograophical details and the abstract. If I remember correctly, when GS was launched theu announced that Blackwell and Springer were among the publishers that allowed deep indexing, while Elsevier did not. So the Elsevier content might come from open abstracts databases like Ingenta and, im many cases, the journals' home pages with no litterature lists, while the deep indexing comes from a mix of instutional repositories, open source journals, select publishers ets. Maybe they do not know themselves exactly what goes into the database. Another issue is the frequency of the updating which we also know nothing about.
