- Abstract
The validity of Google Scholar as a service that reflects properly the scientific output of a university is analyzed, comparing its coverage of Spanish public universities with that of Scopus. The presence and evolution of scientific documentation on the websites of the Spanish public universities from January to July (both months inclusive) 2009 is also studied. The results show that, despite finding some interrelationship between Scholar and Scopus concerning the productivity of institutions, there are large differences in the total results that override the latter as a valid reflection of university productivity. Finally, Scholar shows positive, albeit modest, growth during the studied period for most university websites analyzed.
