本文对微软学术搜索(MAS)和谷歌学者引文(GSC)这两个最重要的基于引文的免费学术搜索引擎的个人简介能力进行了比较分析。一旦描述并考虑到这些服务的优点和缺点，作者档案可用于评估目的。总共分析了771个出现在MAS和GSC数据库中的个人资料。结果表明，与MAS相比，GSC Profile收录了更多的文献和引文，但偏向于信息和计算科学，而MAS Profile在学科上更平衡。MAS存在重复配置文件数量较多、更新率低于GSC等技术问题。结论是，这两项服务只有与其他引文索引一起使用，作为对这一信息的补充，才能用于评估建议。
This article offers a comparative analysis of the personal profiling capabilities of the two most important free citation‐based academic search engines, namely, Microsoft Academic Search (MAS) and Google Scholar Citations (GSC). Author profiles can be useful for evaluation purposes once the advantages and the shortcomings of these services are described and taken into consideration. In total, 771 personal profiles appearing in both the MAS and the GSC databases were analyzed. Results show that the GSC profiles include more documents and citations than those in MAS but with a strong bias toward the information and computing sciences, whereas the MAS profiles are disciplinarily better balanced. MAS shows technical problems such as a higher number of duplicated profiles and a lower updating rate than GSC. It is concluded that both services could be used for evaluation proposes only if they are applied along with other citation indices as a way to supplement that information.
