Publish or Perish
Publish or Perish is designed to empower individual academics to present their case for research impact to its best advantage.
more...less...
Publish or Perish is a software program that retrieves and analyzes academic citations. It uses Google Scholar to obtain the raw citations, then analyzes these and presents the following statistics:

* Total number of papers
* Total number of citations
* Average number of citations per paper
* Average number of citations per author
* Average number of papers per author
* Average number of citations per year
* Hirsch's h-index and related parameters
* Egghe's g-index
* The contemporary h-index
* The age-weighted citation rate
* Two variations of individual h-indices
* An analysis of the number of authors per paper.

The results are available on-screen and can also be copied to the Windows clipboard (for pasting into other applications) or saved to a variety of output formats (for future reference or further analysis). Publish or Perish includes a detailed help file with search tips and additional information about the citation metrics.
Journal Quality List
The Journal Quality List is a collation of journal rankings from a variety of sources. It is published primarily to assist academics to target papers at journals of an appropriate standard. The list was originally collated while the editor, Prof. Anne-Wil Harzing, was associated with the Bradford University School of Management (1997-2001). Since then, the list has been updated and extended periodically to keep it current. It is now in its 59th edition.
