Researcher & Author Identifiers, Profiles and Social Networks: Maximize your Impact!

Google Scholar Citations provide a way for authors to keep track of citations to their articles.

Create your Google Scholar Citations profile here.

The Google Scholar Citations website includes information on:

• Setting up your profile.
• Make your profile public.
• Exploring citations to your articles.
• Updates to your profile.
• Answers to general questions.
   

Example New York Tech Google Profiles:

• Jole Fiorito's Google Profile – Biological & Chemical Sciences
• Bryan Gibb's Google Profile  – Biological & Chemical Sciences
• Michael Hadjiargyrou's Google Profile – Biomedical Sciences; Biological & Chemical Sciences

Benefits:

• Quickly check who is citing your publications.
• Graph citations over time.
• Compute several citation metrics.

• Make your profile public, so that it appears in Google Scholar results when people search for your name.
• A statistical model is used to try to tell different authors apart - you need to double-check whether the articles attached to your profile are really yours.
• It is a profiling system, not a registry and, as such, it attributes to authors no unique alphanumeric identifiers.
