Microsoft Academic Search vs. Google Scholar

["Enrique Wulff. Cádiz (CSIC)."]

Dear Friends,

Also I have a reference that reports on Goggle
Scholar performances (perhaps interesting for
those in the marine science information area).

Pauly,Daniel & Stergiou, Konstantinos.
Equivalence of results from two citation
analyses: Thomson ISI's Citation Index and
Google's Scholar service [pdf]. Ethics in Science
and Environmental Politics. 2005:33-35.

Best regards

Enrique Wulff.
