Google Scholar is a non-commercial bibliometric system that indexes academic papers and provides data on their citations. Within Google Scholar, a set of metrics is used to display the results of an author's professional activity, the main ones being:
- Citation index - references to a scholar's work by other fellow researchers.
- h-index – the Hirsch index, the ratio of the number of scientific publications to their citations.
Google Scholar indexes free, full-text academic papers that are publicly available, published in journals, or located in repositories, on the websites of scientific organizations, research groups, or individual scholars.
For the correct display of academic papers and their citations, it is necessary to pay attention to the researcher's information, the papers' metadata, their transliteration, and how they are cited by other scholars. All of this is very important when calculating scientometric indicators.
If you are having difficulties with Google Scholar, citation metrics, and the h-index on this platform, please contact our specialists. The "Scientific Publications" company has extensive experience in implementing scientific projects of any complexity and would be glad to cooperate with you!
