An evaluation of the Google Books
ngrams for psycholinguistic
research
Emmanuel Keuleers , Marc Brysbaert , Boris New
Google recently released ngram frequencies based on Google Books,
a massive collection of digitized book volumes published between
1550 and 2008 (Michel et al., 2011). As an indication of the size:
the Google Books corpus is claimed to cover about 4% of all books
ever published, and for English, the corpus represents about 361
billion word tokens.
The Google books database is a potential goldmine for psycholinguistic
research, but care should be taken not to overestimate its
value, based only on size or reputation of the publishers.
We present a critical analysis of the Google Books 1-grams (word
frequencies, page counts and document counts for billions of
words) for English and French, evaluating their use for psycholinguistic
research. Firstly, we examine how the Google Books 1-grams
over the years predict lexical decision reaction times and accuracies
(measured by R Squared) from various larger and smaller
lexical decision and naming mega studies, such as the English Lexicon
project (Balota et al., 2007) and the French lexicon project
(Ferrand et al., 2010). This analysis reveals several anomalies, such
as a sudden drop in R Squared in the middle of the 20th century
(Figure 3.1), and the rather strange finding that word frequencies
from the year 1800 are better predictors of naming latencies than

Google: boon, bane or both?
Author(s):
Grayson, Lesley; Gomersall, Alan
Abstract:
The Google search engine, now supplemented by Google Scholar,
is widely used among academic researchers to identify useful literature.
There is some concern among information professionals that more
traditional bibliographic databases, with indexing and better coverage
(particularly in the social sciences), are becoming less used, to the
detriment of research and review quality. This paper argues that Google,
and other search engines, have considerable benefits as a complement
(but not a replacement) to databases, especially in respect of currency
and the access they provide to grey literature. A more serious concern,
however, is the lack of searching skills among many UK academics,
which jeopardises their ability to get the best out of any information
source.

A New Era in Citation and Bibliometric Analyses:
Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar
Lokman I. Meho, Kiduk Yang
(Submitted on 23 Dec 2006)
Academic institutions, federal agencies, publishers, editors, authors,
and librarians increasingly rely on citation analysis for making hiring,
promotion, tenure, funding, and/or reviewer and journal evaluation and
selection decisions. The Institute for Scientific Information's (ISI)
citation databases have been used for decades as a starting point and
often as the only tools for locating citations and/or conducting citation
analyses. ISI databases (or Web of Science), however, may no longer be
adequate as the only or even the main sources of citations because new
databases and tools that allow citation searching are now available.
Whether these new databases and tools complement or represent alternatives
to Web of Science (WoS) is important to explore. Using a group of 15
library and information science faculty members as a case study, this
paper examines the effects of using Scopus and Google Scholar (GS) on the
citation counts and rankings of scholars as measured by WoS. The paper
discusses the strengths and weaknesses of WoS, Scopus, and GS, their
overlap and uniqueness, quality and language of the citations, and the
implications of the findings for citation analysis. The project involved
citation searching for approximately 1,100 scholarly works published by
the study group and over 200 works by a test group (an additional 10
faculty members). Overall, more than 10,000 citing and purportedly citing
documents were examined. WoS data took about 100 hours of collecting and
processing time, Scopus consumed 200 hours, and GS a grueling 3,000 hours.
