Is it true that all articles found through Google Scholar are publicly viewable?

The assertion that all articles found through Google Scholar are publicly viewable is false. While Google Scholar provides access to a rich repository of academic literature, not all articles are freely available to the public. Many publications are behind paywalls, restricted to those who have institutional access or individual subscriptions. Consequently, while it is possible to find a significant number of articles that are open access, the diversity of sources and formats means that some content remains restricted. Thus, it is important for researchers and students to recognize that access to full texts may vary and that additional steps may be needed to acquire certain articles, such as contacting the authors directly or utilizing library services.
