10 4 August 2011 Nature 476, 18 (2011) (doi: /476018a) Meanwhile, Microsoft Academic Search (MAS), which launched in 2009 and has a tool similar to Google Scholar, has over the past few months added a suite of nifty new tools based on its citation metrics (go.nature.com/u1ouut). These include visualizations of citation networks (see 'Mapping the structure of science'); publication trends; and rankings of the leading researchers in a field.

11 Analyst Coverage Outsell: 10 to Watch Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic Search Two giants from outside the main STM arena threaten to shake up the space for STM metrics and analytical services. Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic Search announced new functionalities that could disrupt those offered as commercial services from Thomson Reuter s Web of Knowledge and Elsevier s Scopus. Now Google Scholar is offering its own citation tracker functionality free to use, of course that can allow authors to calculate performance metrics such as the h-index. Microsoft, meanwhile, has focused on adding functionality to its search results, such as dynamic lists of top authors/publications/journals/organisations.

12 Outsell: A compelling user experience There are a number of interesting features here which make it a good alternative to Google Scholar [emphasis added] in particular, it provides some nice graphics, and some handy links in the left bar to refine your search by particular authors, journals or keywords. The other tools on the Microsoft academic site are really wellimplemented and a lot of fun as well, particularly if you re a published researcher. You can use the co-author graph and citation graph tools to generate beautiful visual representations of who s citing your work, or who you re connected to through authorship * * Ware, Mark (2011), Scientific, Technical & Market Information: 2011 Market Forecast and Trends Report, Outsell (November 30) 13

(Associate Member) We intend to be an open platform for the community, and we want to commit to the community to keep this service open, transparent, and a sandbox available to researchers for exploration and experimentation. (Founding Sponsor) We are very interested to evolving this service to better represent how science/academia works. As protocols and/or standards emerge, we hope to embody these as part of MAS moving forward.
