Marked improvement in result ranks for many related search terms in Google Scholar for Indian CS & IT academic reform book; Google Scholar now shows link to Google Books page of book, https://eklavyasai.blogspot.com/2020/03/marked-improvement-in-result-ranks-for.html.
The recently released book titled, "Indian Computer Science (CS) & Information Technology (IT) Academic Reform (Past) Activism Blog Book", (Google Books Preview (Full preview and PDF download) link: https://books.google.co.in/books?id=bOXUDwAAQBAJ ), of which I am the main author, now shows up on Google Scholar search as a [CITATION] entry. Note that there are 0 (zero) citations for the book now. Further note that the book also contains views of other contributors which is reflected in the book authors being shown in the front page as myself (as main author) and others.

As can be seen from above screenshots, while there is no link to the book PDF in the Google Scholar results, Google search on the book title shown in Scholar results gives PDF links to the book including associated Google Books PDF link (3rd result in above Google search on book title results). One of the screenshots also shows how the book is to be cited as per various citation conventions.
I checked out whether the book is shown for various related search terms in Google Scholar.
Given below are the result ranks for [CITATION] entry of Indian CS & IT academic reform book and associated search terms in Google Scholar search, https://scholar.google.com. Note that this [CITATION] entry shows up even though there are 0 (zero) citations for the book now.

Now I don't know whether any activist working in the area of improving software development practice in Computer Science or Information Technology academia (Indian or of academia of other countries), will read some parts of this book and will think it worthy of being cited in his/her research work. But I think I have done my bit for my former professional field of software development by doing the book release work, including the full text release on Google Books, to help such activists easily come across my book through Google search or Google Scholar search using relevant search terms like the ones mentioned above.
