Called Google Scholar, the search engine's goal is to offer the most comprehensive list of research papers available on the Web. The search has been created with help from the science community, and received a lot of support from academic, scientific, and technical publishers. Contributors of note include the Association of Computing Machinery, Nature, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and the Online Computer Library Center. Google's usual text advertisement inclusions will not be used for the time being on Google Scholar, but they are likely to appear in the future. This is due to the lucrative opportunities offered by advertising on a targeted search engine such as this and the high costs associated with research services that will probably want to advertise. Mr. Anurag Acharya is the visionary behind Google Scholar. He said his motivation for creating such a search engine was to help the academic community as it has helped Google in the past. Read more on the topic in Mr. Acharya's post on the Google Blog and The New York Times (free registration required); you can also read the Google Scholar FAQ.
