Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesAn index to quantify an individual's scientific research output
11,535 Citations2005J. E. Hirsch
The index hbar, defined as the number of papers of an individual that have citation count larger than or equal to the citation count of all coauthors of each paper, is proposed as a useful index to characterize the scientific output of a researcher that takes into account the effect of multiple authorship.
Journal of the American Society for Information Science and TechnologyImpact of data sources on citation counts and rankings of LIS faculty: Web of science versus scopus and google scholar
968 Citations2007Lokman I. Meho, Kiduk Yang
Results show that Scopus significantly alters the relative ranking of those scholars that appear in the middle of the rankings and that GS stands out in its coverage of conference proceedings as well as international, non-English language journals.

719 Citations2007Judit Bar‐Ilan
This paper compares the h-indices of a list of highly-cited Israeli researchers based on citations counts retrieved from the Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar respectively with results obtained through Google Scholar.
Ethics in Science and Environmental PoliticsGoogle Scholar as a new source for citation analysis
686 Citations2007AWK Harzing, René van der Wal
It is argued that these metrics provide additional advantages over the JIF and that the free availability of GS allows for a democratization of citation analysis as it provides every academic access to citation data regardless of their institution's financial means.

The paper describes various types of information added to the database: data on articles citing the Dutch publications; detailed citation data on ISI journals and subfields; and a classification system of publishing main organizations, appearing in the addresses.
LibriGoogle Scholar: The New Generation of Citation Indexes
288 Citations2005Alireza Noruzi
This study compares the citation counts provided by Web of Science and Google Scholar for articles in the field of “Webometrics" and concludes that Google Scholar provides a free alternative or complement to other citation indexes.
Journal of the American Society for Information ScienceImproving the accuracy of institute for scientific information's journal impact factors
226 Citations1995Henk F. Moed, Thed N. van Leeuwen
Evidence is presented that for a considerable number of journals the values of the impact factors published in ISI's Journal Citation Reports (JCR) are inaccurate, particularly for several journals having a high impact factor.

An impact measure based on an analysis of Google Scholar citation data suited to CS conferences is offered, showing that CS papers in leading conferences match the impact of papers in mid-ranking journals and surpass the impact in journals in the bottom half of the Thompson Reuters rankings.
