Ongoing Comparisons between Microsoft Academic Search and Google Scholar Citations
Posted by tony in Data Quality, General Communications on August 7, 2011
I have been blogging on Google Scholar Citations in recent days and noticing some interesting details (1,2,3). I have been in exchanges with the Microsoft Academic Search support team on Twitter trying to collapse multiple accounts. They are helping.
I have since continued my comparison to look for differences in the two platforms. There are some very obvious differences. One GLARING example…on Google Scholar my top cited paper has 50 citations. On Microsoft Academic Search it has 3. BIG difference!

Google’s Brilliance Shows Again with Google Scholar Citations
Posted by tony in General Communications, People in Science, Software on August 2, 2011
My colleague David Sharpe pointed me to an interesting blog today concerning Google Scholar Citations. I’d always imagined it would come but didn’t know when. So what a happy lunchtime it was when I sat down to read the blog and register for a citations account here. When I registered on Microsoft Academic Search I was initially impressed.
ONE of my personas on Microsoft Academic Search
Since then I have been collapsing a number of different “authors called Antony Williams”. I’ve been working on it for a few weeks and despite numerous attempts to collapse them, including email requests…I still exist as

http://academic.research.microsoft.com/Author/12789419/antony-j-williams
http://academic.research.microsoft.com/Author/22810554/antony-j-williams

If anyone from Microsoft can possibly help me get these collapsed I’d appreciate it! I’ve tried using the approach below and failed.
It’s a shame…I really want to take advantage of a lot of the wonderful tools that Microsoft Academic Search offers. An example is below.
