This post is about why I don't have a Google Scholar profile (yet). + + First of all, having a Google Scholar profile requires a Google account. There is no technical necessity for this, Google already indexes my papers and other databases (like the aforementioned dblp) manage to create per-author pages just fine without authors having to have an account.
