Google scholar, standing on the shoulders of giants: Citations and statistics

My citations

My citations is a module that allows you to trace the number of citations for your articles. It allows you to know who cites your publications, and to graphically follow the evolution of your citations.

It is also possible to publish a profile here, which then appears in Google and in Scholar when a search is done on your name. To do this, you need to create a Google account, if you don’t already have one. Then fill in the information required for the creation of your profile (your name, affiliation, interests...). The next step is to identify your publications and link them to your profile.

The "Statistics" module provides information about the impact factor of the journals referenced in Google Scholar. A list of the 100 most cited journals is available, classed by language. A search by subject is possible, but in the English language only.

Two bibliometric statistics, the h5 index and the h5 median, are used to calculate the notoriety of the referenced publications. These calculations are based on articles published during the last five years. However, these figures should be handled with care and cannot be taken into account in the same way as the impact factor. Indeed, the data are not exploited in a sophisticated manner, the delimitation of the corpus is unknown and changes regularly, and the real impact factor is calculated over a period of two years.
