I think the authorS option can only handle ten names in "any of the
names" box? Please confirm.
thx

This took us a while to figure out. We do not seem to have such
limitation in the Scholarometer extension. The parameters are passed
to Google Scholar. It is possible that GS will only handle ten names,
as seems to be suggested in this old post:

OK. I also run into this limit when I tried queries with very common names. The problem is that you cannot exclude more than 10 names and this basically brakes the statistics. I guess scholarometer could do the filtering after the google query. Couldn't you? Just ask google to exclude 10 names and then go over the results and exclude the remaining 60. =;-)

Would be great. And would make a great tool even greater!

Thanks

Stefan
