Publish or perish
Publish or Perish is a free bibliometric analysis tool which is used in conjunction with Google Scholar (GS). The application was developed by Anne-Will Harzing.
You can use GS to search for papers and it will also provide information about citations to these papers from all sources indexed in GS. This is particularly useful for those areas served less well by WOS and Scopus. POP adds value to the GS content allowing you to conduct a number of analyses including calculating your h-index. A major issue associated with using the full potential of POP is the quality of information retrieved from Google Scholar.
