Scraper for Google Scholar scrapes almost nothing

Issue #2516 resolved
Stephan Doerfel created an issue

Scraping a google scholar article page, e.g. https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=1t5awvEAAAAJ&citation_for_view=1t5awvEAAAAJ:UeHWp8X0CEIC fills only the three fields entrytype, bibtexKey (strange), and description, comment. However, much more structured information is available.

    Well, my suggestion is always to not use the metadata from Google, since it's not the best. ;-) Nevertheless, I agree that the scraper should be repaired.

    Currently, the GoogleScholar scraper is not used at all (but the BibTeX scraper). The reason is, that the GoogleScholar scraper does not recognize (accept) the path /citations. Should be added.
