[extropy-chat] citation analyses using Google Scholar

[Damien Broderick]

My Vice-Chancellor at the University of Melbourne writes (and this 
might be generally useful):

=====================

Dr Anne-Wil Harzing's most impressive personal page includes a software
program to perform citation analyses using Google Scholar.  Called
'Publish or Perish', it provides statistics such as total number of
papers, total number of citations, citations per paper, citations per
author, h-index and g-index (the latter are two new measures of research
impact recently developed in Physics).  By typing in an author's name
(first initial and family name works best) information is available in
only a few seconds.  'Publish or Perish', at
<http://www.harzing.com/pop.htm> is a great example of how new media
makes possible many takes on existing information.
