研究发现代码链接放摘要里才易被谷歌学术检索到。
Can We Find the Code? An Empirical Study of Google Scholar's Code Retrieval
- 代码链接放摘要中才能被谷歌学术全面索引
- 正文内链接（包括数据可用性部分）常被忽略
- 适合关注论文可复现性的研究者参考
与学术论文相关的代码是学者的重要资源。在计算机科学以外的领域，代码公开往往受限，因此高效检索代码至关重要。谷歌学术是关键的学术搜索工具，若论文中的代码无法通过谷歌学术检索到，其可及性和影响力将大幅降低。本研究以“加速退化”与“可靠性”为主题，发现对于爱思唯尔出版的论文，仅当GitHub链接出现在摘要中时，才会被谷歌学术全面检索；若链接位于正文或“数据可用性”部分，可能被忽略而无法搜索。该结果凸显了将代码链接置于摘要中的策略重要性，以提升代码在谷歌学术上的可发现性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Academic codes associated with research papers are valuable resources for scholars. In specialized fields outside computer science, code availability is often limited, making effective code retrieval essential. Google Scholar is a crucial academic search tool. If a code published in the paper is not retrievable via Google Scholar, its accessibility and impact are significantly reduced. This study takes the term "accelerated degradation" combined with "reliability" as an example, and finds that, for papers published by Elsevier, only GitHub links included in abstracts are comprehensively retrieved by Google Scholar. When such links appear within the main body of a paper, even in the "Data Availability" section, they may be ignored and become unsearchable. These findings highlight the importance of strategically placing GitHub links in abstracts to enhance code discoverability on Google Scholar.
