Classification of citations[edit]

Bianca Kramer notes that Semantic Scholar is "showing whether a citation cites methods, results or background". I feel this would be worth mentioning, will look later for a secondary source. Nemo 07:01, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Human-Computer interaction" capitalization[edit]

Minor remark: Is there a reason I miss for uppercase "H" and "C" (lowercase in the article Human–computer interaction)? Best, --Marsupium (talk) 23:45, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading text: "Does not search for material behind a paywall"[edit]

Current text is:

"Semantic Scholar is free to use and unlike similar search engines (i.e. Google Scholar) does not search for material that is behind a paywall.[citation needed]"

Which implies that it only provides results which are not behind a paywall, while actually meaning:

"it doesn't search in between and across the material behind a paywall"

I wish someone (with good English skills!) makes it clear to avoid misunderstandings. Kouroshkoratamadia (talk) 11:53, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this is clearly wrong. It's easy to verify by just searching for any article that's published by a non-open access journal and seeing if it comes up. However, the current citation does use the "behind a paywall" wording without clarifying what that means, so I think it would require a different clarifying source if it's to be changed?

It does not allow anyone to link articles that are not freely available on line; it only recognizes articles that are available freely. FrankieItalo (talk) 01:11, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

incorrect analyses[edit]

There are serious problems with its classifications. It uses only single letter first initials and therefore mixes across all kinds of fields for common names. It throws anything in a foreign language together without analysis; it needs to analyze foreign languages as well as English. It does not allow scholars to correct errors-- for instance, it lists reviews as articles under the author(s) of the book reviewed, which is totally inappropriate. It also arbitrarily separates sections of one author's works by what it thinks is the subject and will not allow combining of pages by the author concerned.
