Description:
Since Google Scholar is fast becoming the tool of choice for researchers to publish and find new studies, it makes sense to set up your Google Scholar profile. A properly set up profile will help Scholar automatically track the attributions and citations for publications.
With the help of automated citations, Google Scholar helps researchers perform several citation-related operations automatically.
Google Scholar provides authors with a way to collate all publication and citation information indexed by Google via Google Scholar profiles. With a Google Scholar profile, you can see your list of publications, your total citation counts based on Google Scholar’s indexed publications, and your h-index.
H-index was developed by Jorge E. Hirsch in 2005 to measure both the productivity and impact of a researcher. A researcher has index of h if he or she has h number of publications, in which each publication has been cited at least h times. For example, a researcher who has an h-index of 8, has at least 8 publications that have each been cited at least 8 times.
An obvious advantage of setting up a Google Scholar profile is, it becomes the tool to build your influence as a researcher.
