How can I add a research paper to Google Scholar?
Dear all,
I hope this question finds you in good health & spirit!
This is a repeated question but in a different way.
How can I add a research paper to Google Scholar? I have the following three papers, all of them have been added manually to the "Research Scholar":
Nidhal El-Omari, “Sea Lion Optimization Algorithm for Solving the Maximum Flow Problem”, International Journal of Computer Science and Network Security (IJCSNS), e-ISSN: 1738-7906, DOI: 10.22937/IJCSNS.2020.20.08.5, 20(8):30-68, 2020.
Nidhal El-Omari, “An Efficient Two-level Dictionary-based Technique for Segmentation and Compression Compound Images”, Modern Applied Science, The Canadian Center of Science and Education, published by Canadian Center of Science and Education, Canada, p-ISSN:1913-1844, e-ISSN:1913-1852, DOI:10.5539/mas.v14n4p52, 14(4):52-89, 2020.
Nidhal El-Omari, M. H. Alzaghal, and Sameh Ghwanmeh, “ICT and Emergency Volunteering in Jordan: Current and Future Trends”, Computer Science and Information Technology, published by Horizon Research Publishing Corporation (HRPUB), p-ISSN:2331-6063, e-ISSN:2331-6071, DOI: 10.13189/csit.2015.030402, 3(4):105-112, 2015.
But, I couldn't find any one of them when I search for the usual way. To be sure, you can see the three attached snapshots.
Thank you!

How can I add a research paper to Google Scholar?
Adding a research paper to Google Scholar involves a few steps. Google Scholar is a freely accessible search engine that indexes scholarly articles from various disciplines. While you cannot directly upload papers to Google Scholar, you can ensure that your research paper gets indexed and displayed in the search results by following these steps:
- Publish Your Paper: First and foremost, your research paper needs to be published in a reputable and credible scholarly journal or conference proceedings. Google Scholar aims to index academic content, so make sure your paper meets the academic standards of your field.
- Provide Detailed Information: Ensure that your paper has accurate and detailed metadata. This includes the title, authors' names, abstract, keywords, publication date, and citation information. Accurate and complete metadata increases the likelihood of your paper being indexed correctly.
- Publish Open Access (Optional): While it's not a requirement, publishing your paper as open access (freely accessible to the public) can improve its visibility on Google Scholar and other search engines. Open access papers tend to receive more citations and have a broader impact.
- Use Scholarly Citations and References: In your paper, cite relevant and reputable sources from other researchers. Make sure to include proper citations and references according to the citation style of your field (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.).
- Wait for Indexing: Google Scholar's indexing process is automated and periodic. It may take some time for your paper to be discovered and indexed after it's published. The indexing frequency varies, so be patient.
- Check Your Institutional Repository: If you're affiliated with a university or research institution, they might have an institutional repository where you can upload your paper. Google Scholar often indexes content from these repositories.
- Create a Google Scholar Profile (Optional): If you're a researcher, you can create a Google Scholar Profile to manage your publications and citations. While this won't directly add your paper to Google Scholar, it can help ensure that your work is accurately attributed to you.
- Engage in Academic Networking: Engage with the academic community by attending conferences, presenting your research, and collaborating with other researchers. This can lead to more citations and increase the visibility of your paper on Google Scholar.
Remember that Google Scholar's indexing process is automated, and not all papers may be indexed immediately or at all. It's also worth noting that Google Scholar doesn't verify the quality or credibility of sources, so it's essential to publish in reputable journals and conferences to maintain the integrity of your research.
If you've followed these steps and your paper is not appearing on Google Scholar, you can contact Google Scholar support for assistance or explore their official documentation for more information.

I had the same problem. It is best to use the institute or university repositories.
The algorithms of Google Scholar are far from ideal. The other issue is deleting citations if scanned sites are not worked.

Dear Dr. Md. Abul Kalam Azad,
I appreciate your valuable assistance. But, I have already added my research articles manually before putting this question on this portal. My question is related to another different situation. I want to see my papers when I make searching as in the attached snapshots with the original question; please make another glance at them. Anyway, the problems of the first and second papers have solved after I have uploaded them on the "www.academia.edu" using the following link:
Until this moment, the problem of the third paper, namely "ICT and Emergency Volunteering in Jordan: Current and Future Trends", hasn't been solved despite that it has been loaded on the "academia" and other sites. Thanks again for your great assistance.
Finally, I want to introduce my gratitude, thankfulness, and acknowledgment to Dr. Roman Anufriev, Dr. Mohammed O. Al-Amr, Prof. Vadym Slyusar, and all the other respected researchers for their contributions, attentions, and participations.

It is better not to add a paper manually to Scholar, just wait and it will be added automatically. If you add it manually, you have to merge it with the original paper later.

@Nidhal Kamel Manually updated manuscripts won't show up on the search unless the publishing journal is indexed by Google Scholar and the same manuscripts have been shared by the journal for updation on Google Scholar. Therefore, when someone visits your Google Profile, he/she will see the manuscripts updated by you but won't redirect to actual publication journal since it's manually added and not by the journal.

One, in particular and personally, CAN, but the best thing is that its Managers add it based on criteria such as where it has been published, how many have cited it, if it has seen the light in an indexed Journal or not, etc .; If it is added manually - as previous Researchers have indicated and explained perfectly - if it does not meet any of the requirements set forth, IT IS WELL LITTLE!

How to know if a given journal is Scopus or not?
Nidhal Kamel Taha El-Omari
The problem that I usually face that there are some journals that claim on their sites that they are Scopus-indexed while they aren't. On the other hand, other journals hide the facts by saying some tricks like Scopus (2020) or Scopus (2013).
For instance, one of the journals says at its main portal that it is indexed in Scopus. But I don't find it on the Scopus list. I have written many emails to them, they always ignoring me!
The attached file is an Excel sheet that contains the last updated list. You can download the last version anytime by click on "Scopus source list" from the Scopus portal: https://www.scopus.com
