[WEB4LIB] RE: Google Scholar

[Eric Hellman]

they are making private arrangement with publishers, for example the 
crossref search program:
http://www.crossref.org/01company/pr/press20040428.html

My understanding is that the publisher has to make publicly available 
at least an abstract, but Google will index the entire document.
