"""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.
Compared to other Google services the Scholar engine has a simple GET REST-API
and there does not exists ``async`` API. Even though the API slightly vintage
we can make use of the :ref:`google API` to assemble the arguments of the GET
request.
Configuration
=============

is set an empty dictionary of arguments is returned.
