The package reads data from \url{https://scholar.google.com}.  Dates
  and citation counts are estimated and are determined automatically by a
  computer program. Use at your own risk.
}
\description{
The \code{scholar} package provides functions to extract citation data from
Google Scholar.  There are also convenience functions for comparing multiple
scholars and predicting h-index scores based on past publication records.
}
\note{
A complementary set of Google Scholar functions can be found at
  \url{https://www.biostat.jhsph.edu/~jleek/code/googleCite.r}.  The
  \code{scholar} package was developed independently.

\section{Google Scholar cookies}{
 Google does not encourage people to use the
  scholar website as an API. You will find a number of issues related to this
  if you follow:
  \url{https://github.com/jkeirstead/scholar/issues?q=is:issue+cookie}

  If you try to fetch too many pages, you can expect to see your access to
  scholar blocked. One step that they do take is to provide a session cookie.
  Reusing these seems to help. If you wish to write your own code to interact
  with Google Scholar, we recommend that you use the
  \code{\link{get_scholar_resp}} function to carry out the query.
