Firstly, I was happy to see that Google Scholar search on related search terms gives result link to Google Books page of the recently released book, "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. Clicking on the result link takes the user to pages having part or whole of the search terms.
Note that earlier, just 3 days back on 15th March, Google Scholar search showed [CITATION] entry for above book but NOT the Google Books page for it. For more see my previous post: Google Scholar search: Indian CS & IT academic reform book appears in top twenty results for related search terms including book; Other related search result ranks, https://eklavyasai.blogspot.com/2020/03/google-scholar-search-indian-cs-it.html.
After the above happy observation, I was simply stunned to see that for many related search terms (used in previous post mentioned above), the result ranks have improved significantly! How did that happen - I wonder! Perhaps it took some time for Google Scholar to get all the indexing info. and result ranking stuff up to date with the full text of the book put up on Google Books.
Note that there still are NO (zero) citations for the book.
Some of the ranks have improved so significantly (and in just 3 days!) that I felt compelled to put up this new post having the new result ranks and associated screenshots. I am taking the pain of capturing and then including these screenshots in this post as it is clear evidence for the ranking I mention. If a future activist visits this post, say a year later, the rankings may have changed significantly (perhaps for the worse as my book may be getting some higher ranking now due to it being a recent book and that ranking may fall significantly in a year's time or even a few months' time). Then she may not believe the rankings that I have mentioned unless she sees the screenshots backing up what I have said.
All these screenshots make the post long but I consider it to be appropriate as it may be necessary to convince serious activists as well as other serious readers about the rankings I have mentioned. That may be vital in helping them to decide whether to use parts (or even whole, if they so want) of my work, for their activism or other efforts to improve teaching and practice of software development in Indian (and perhaps some other countries') computer science and information technology academia (higher education).
Given below are the result ranks for Google Books page of Indian CS & IT academic reform book and associated search terms in Google Scholar search, https://scholar.google.com, done on 18th March 2020.
