Google Scholar Citation Tool

 

Google Scholar has now released their Google Scholar Citation Tool. This tool allows you to check who is citing your publications, graph citations over time, and compute several citation metrics. As well, you can also make your profile public, so that it may appear in Google Scholar results when people search for your name More information on how to get access and set this tool up can be obtained from the Google Scholar Blog http://googlescholar.blogspot.com/2011/11/google-scholar-citations-open-to-all.html.  As with Publish or Perish there are still limitations but it does go someway to making collation of Google Scholar citations easier.
