The parsed data from a scholar is: - his/her list of publications (title, link, authors, publisher details, citations) - his/her citations' statistics (number of citations, h-index, i10-index) Table of content ---------------- [](#table-of-content) - [Project Rationale](#project-rationale) - [Requirements](#requirements) - [Installation](#installation) - [Usage](#usage) - [Versioning](#versioning) - [Code Quality](#code-quality) - [Author](#author) - [License](#license) Project Rationale ----------------- [](#project-rationale) As explained by this [Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Scholar): > Google Scholar is a freely accessible web search engine that indexes the full text or metadata of scholarly literature across an array of publishing formats and disciplines.Google Scholar is a website which indexes scholars' publications and citations. Unfortunately [Google Scholar](https://scholar.google.com/) website doesn't provide an API and I needed a way to fetch a scholar's data. So, while I was looking for a PHP library which parses a profile page from Google Scholar website, I only found [Scholar parser](https://github.com/dschreij/scholar_parser) from [Daniel Schreij](https://github.com/dschreij). But I was unhappy with this library's dependency upon [PhantomJS](http://phantomjs.org/)which development is suspended (and will likely not resume, leaving users without support). So I decided to rewrite this library redesigning it to depend only on PHP, and no more Javascript. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) Major versions vs. PHP: - 3.x: PHP 8.1+ - 2.x: PHP 7.1+ - 1.x: PHP 5.6+ As stated in [composer.json](composer.json), it requires PHP extension DOM. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to download and install this library as well as its dependencies. ``` composer require bborrel/google-scholar-profile-parser ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) See the examples in the [library's documentation](doc). Versioning ---------- [](#versioning) This library use [SemVer](http://semver.org/) for versioning.
