preprint - Does Google Scholar link to post-print PDFs lodged on academia.edu or ResearchGate?

This means that people who find a reference to a paywalled article in Google Scholar that they do not have access to can still read a PDF from elsewhere on the web.


I've been preparing post-prints of various articles for this purpose. If I post them to academia.edu or ResearchGate, will Google Scholar index them?
