Google Scholar for Bibliometrics
Editor's Notes
- Metrics are generally a higher number - Bibliometrics calculated on GS are generally higher than those calculated on (eg.) WoS, but this varies by discipline
- Google Scholar *was* designed for bibliometrics, just not necessarily for g-index and h-index (it does citation counting
- Quadsearch http://quadsearch.csd.auth.gr/index.php?lan=1&s=2 (i.e. the ‘Science’ search) Scholar H-index Calculator https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/45283 (add-on for the Mozilla Firefox browser, adds metrics to the standard Google Scholar site, easy to use but only calculates for the articles on the current page, a maximum of 100) Scholarometer http://scholarometer.indiana.edu/ (add-on for the Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers – appears as a sidebar when installed) Publish or Perish http://www.harzing.com/pop.htm (application that calculates a wide variety of metrics

- Google Scholar’s subject classification is variable – fails to correctly classify some, thus reducing recall and therefore calculated h-index
