What is Google Scholar Citations?

Google Scholar Citations provides a way for you to group all your publications that are indexed by Google Scholar. This enables others to find them easily when searching by author name, and helps calculate citation metrics.

Setting up a Google Scholar Citations profile provides access to your citation metrics, boosts your discoverability via a public profile, and allows you to manage your publication list.  As there are no unique Author IDs used, it is up to researchers to check whether the articles attached to their profile are theirs. You can configure Google Scholar to automatically add publications or you can choose to manually review and add publications.

n.b. You can only set-up a profile if Google has indexed one of your publications.
