From: Subbiah Arunachalam <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2012 21:37:22 -0700 Bang for the buck is one concern. I am more interested in improving Google Scholar so that it becomes inherently better than the fee-based services. I am sure a number of experts who are "open source minded" will be ready to help, but will Google be ready to accept the help and improve this particular service? Long ago I wrote to them but nothing much happened.
