FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Google Scholar Profile Parser
Google Scholar Profile Parser is a PHP library which parses the HTML of a scholar's profile page from Google Scholar website and transforms its data into a regular PHP data structure.
The parsed data from a scholar is:
- his/her list of publications (title, link, authors, publisher details, citations)
- his/her citations' statistics (number of citations, h-index, i10-index)

Project Rationale
As explained by this Wikipedia page:
Google Scholar is a freely accessible web search engine that indexes the full text or metadata of scholarly literature across an array of publishing formats and disciplines.Google Scholar is a website which indexes scholars' publications and citations.
Unfortunately Google Scholar website doesn't provide an API and I needed a way to fetch a scholar's data.
So, while I was looking for a PHP library which parses a profile page from Google Scholar website, I only found Scholar parser from Daniel Schreij. But I was unhappy with this library's dependency upon PhantomJS which development is suspended (and will likely not resume, leaving users without support). So I decided to rewrite this library redesigning it to depend only on PHP, and no more Javascript.
