Google launched new search engine 'Dataset Search' for the scientific community: Details, Features, Aim, Highlights
World's search engine giant Google has launched Dataset Search, a new search engine for the scientific community, aimed at helping them make sense of millions of datasets present online.
The Dataset Search Engine will also help scientists, data journalists and geeks to find data required for their work and their stories or simply to satisfy their intellectual curiosity.
The Dataset Search Engine will work like Google Scholar, which is the company’s popular search engine for academic studies and reports. It will help to find datasets wherever they’re hosted, whether it is the publisher’s site, digital library or an author’s personal web page.
The Dataset Search engine can be used to find references to most datasets in environmental sciences, social sciences, as well as government data and data provided by news organizations.
The Dataset Search engine will have twin benefits of creating data sharing ecosystem that will encourage data publishers to follow best practices for data storage and publication and give scientists way to show an impact of their work through citation of datasets that they have produced.
