Interview With Google Scholar Creator

Google posted an interview with its Google Scholar lead engineer, Anurag Acharya.

Anurag says, “We try to rank [Google Scholar] search results as a researcher in the area would. We take into account many factors, including who wrote the article, where it was published, how relevant the article is to the query, and what other articles have said about it.”

Google also introduces a couple of other engineers working on Scholar; Alex Verstak, Robert Tansley, and Christian DiCarlo.
