In a blog posted on April Fool's Day, Google announced a new feature to
its Scholar service. This was no prank. It was the genuine debut of a new
tool called Google Scholar Metrics. The service follows the same principle
that has made Google's web search engine so successful - when you are
unsure what a user is looking for, give them a list of options ranked by a
metric of popularity. In this instance, the users are academics ready to
submit their next breakthrough but are uncertain which journal to choose.
The solution Scholar Metrics offers is a database summarizing the sway of
the distributors of scholarship "to help authors as they consider where to
publish their new research".
.

.
Scholar Metrics isn't the first tool for evaluating the influence of
scholarly publications. In January 2009 Thomas Reuters introduced the
impact factor. It is calculated by taking the total number of citations a
journal has received in the past year and dividing by the total number of
articles it has published in the previous two years. Impact factors are
released as part of the annual Journal Citation Reports (JCR). Unlike
Scholar Metrics, the JCR is a proprietary service.
.

.
Another advantage of Scholar Metrics is its inclusion of web repositories
like the Social Science Research Network and arXiv, where authors can make
manuscripts or published articles available to the web community at no
cost to themselves or their readers. By making it into the top 10 of the
h-index ranking, these repositories demonstrate the importance of open
access and early views in strengthening a publication's sway.
.
But who needs to continue to list Scholar Metrics' virtues? It's free and
it's Google's. Bottom line.
.
To get started with the service, visit the Google Scholar page. Below the
search box of the main page is a link to the metrics service, which in the
company's characteristically low-key fashion is labelled simply "New!".
All of the current measures are based on a five-year window beginning on
April 1st 2007 and the database includes publications in ten languages.
Users can browse or search for terms within publication titles, and
clicking on the h-index for any specific publication opens up a page with
details on the articles and citations statistics constituting its h-core.
Curious to know what statistical journal is most influencing its field?
The answer is just a click away.

Google Scholar Metrics for Publications

Most researchers are familiar with well-established journals and
conferences in their field. They are often less familiar with newer
publications or publications in related fields - there're simply too many!
Today, were introducing Google Scholar Metrics: an easy way for authors to
quickly gauge the visibility and influence of recent articles in scholarly
publications.

.
Coverage of Publications
.
Scholar Metrics currently cover articles published between 2007 and 2011,
both inclusive. The metrics are based on citations from all articles that
were indexed in Google Scholar as of April 1st, 2012. This also includes
citations from articles that are not themselves covered by Scholar
Metrics.
.
Since Google Scholar indexes articles from a large number of websites, we
cannot always tell where (or if!) a particular article has been published.
To avoid misidentification of publications, we have included only the
following items:
journal articles from websites that follow our inclusion guidelines;
.
conference articles and preprints from a small number of manually
identified sources.
.
Furthermore, we have specifically excluded the following items:
court opinions, patents, books, and dissertations;
.
publications with fewer than 100 articles published between 2007 and
2011;
.
publications that received no citations to articles published between
2007 and 2011.
.
On balance, Scholar Metrics cover a substantial fraction of scholarly
articles published in the last five years. However, they don't currently
cover a large number of articles from smaller journals.
.
Most of the articles covered by Scholar Metrics are from journals. A
significant fraction also comes from conferences, pre-prints, and
technical reports.
