Google Scholar is an online profile system that automatically indexes your scholarly output by crawling online academic sources.

*Miscellaneous will appear as Other in Faculty Success
Effective use of Google Scholar for publication import involves configuring your Google Scholar profile so that it does not automatically add any new suggestions that Google Scholar finds during its automated processes. Many of these findings are for publications that you did not author. This can lead to many entries that must be reviewed/filtered for the correct set of entries to be exported.
