Description: # scholarly
        scholarly is a module that allows you to retrieve author and publication information from [Google Scholar](https://scholar.google.com) in a friendly, Pythonic way.
        
        
        ## Usage
        Because `scholarly` does not use an official API, no key is required. Simply:
        
        ```python
        import scholarly
        
        print(next(scholarly.search_author('Steven A. Cholewiak')))
        ```
        
        ### Methods
        * `search_author` -- Search for an author by name and return a generator of Author objects.
        
        ```python
        >>> search_query = scholarly.search_author('Marty Banks, Berkeley')
        >>> print(next(search_query))
        {'_filled': False,
         'affiliation': 'Professor of Vision Science, UC Berkeley',
         'citedby': 17758,
         'email': '@berkeley.edu',
         'id': 'Smr99uEAAAAJ',
         'interests': ['vision science', 'psychology', 'human factors', 'neuroscience'],
         'name': 'Martin Banks',
         'url_picture': 'https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=medium_photo&user=Smr99uEAAAAJ'}
        ```
        
        * `search_keyword` -- Search by keyword and return a generator of Author objects.
        
        ```python
        >>> search_query = scholarly.search_keyword('Haptics')
        >>> print(next(search_query))
        {'_filled': False,
         'affiliation': 'Stanford University',
         'citedby': 31731,
         'email': '@cs.stanford.edu',

         'name': 'Oussama Khatib',
         'url_picture': 'https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=medium_photo&user=4arkOLcAAAAJ'}
        ```
        
        * `search_pubs_query` -- Search for articles/publications and return generator of Publication objects.
        
        ```python
        >>> search_query = scholarly.search_pubs_query('Perception of physical stability and center of mass of 3D objects')
        >>> print(next(search_query))
        {'_filled': False,
         'bib': {'abstract': 'Humans can judge from vision alone whether an object is '
                             'physically stable or not. Such judgments allow observers '
                             'to predict the physical behavior of objects, and hence '
                             'to guide their motor actions. We investigated the visual '

                             'in stereoscopically viewed rendered scenes) and how it '

                             'the edge of a table and adjusted its tilt to the '

        ```
        
        
        ### Example
        Here's a quick example demonstrating how to retrieve an author's profile then retrieve the titles of the papers that cite his most popular (cited) paper.
        
        ```python
        # Retrieve the author's data, fill-in, and print
        search_query = scholarly.search_author('Steven A Cholewiak')
        author = next(search_query).fill()
        print(author)
        
        # Print the titles of the author's publications
        print([pub.bib['title'] for pub in author.publications])
        
        # Take a closer look at the first publication
        pub = author.publications[0].fill()
        print(pub)
        
        # Which papers cited that publication?
        print([citation.bib['title'] for citation in pub.get_citedby()])
        ```
