Does Keyword Explorer include volume from "Google Scholar"?

[LauramCameron]

Hi everyone,

Has anyone worked on SEO for Google Scholar?  Any recommendations?  Does the Keyword Explorer include volume from Google Scholar?

Merci!

Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Customer Support team here.

Nope, Keyword Explorer doesn't include data from Google Scholar. Moz combines data from multiple sources (including Google Keyword Planner and purchased, anonymized clickstream data for ~1mm searchers in the US) to build our volume models. We then distribute these into bucket ranges that represent relative confidence we have in the various ranges for a given keyword. You can read more about our process and research in this blog post.

Hope that helps!
