Greetings. I get the sense that Google Scholar is becoming the default indexer
for open access research in STM with slower but also increasing uptake in the
SS and humanities. Google is so nearly ubiquitous now it is easy to forget they
are also a commercial company. At some point, a conversation surely needs to
happen regarding Google’s role in sustaining the public good to research
parallel to developments in open access. Is anyone aware of the status of such
a conversation? Thanks.
