A few months ago I reported a bug in Google Scholar that erases researchers with single-letter surnames from citations of their own work. Naturally, this would affect researchers of certain backgrounds more than others.

You'd think that Google would care about this, right? Being a global leader in the tech space and all? But no - they pointed me to a broken help page and ghosted me.

Now I'm going public with the findings because nobody should have credit taken away from them solely because of the name they were born with.

I've linked my blog write-up explaining how it works and how it takes credit away from hardworking researchers.
