Scholar Metrics provide an easy way for authors to quickly gauge the visibility and influence of recent articles in scholarly publications. Today, we are releasing the
2013 version of Scholar Metrics. This release covers articles published between 2008 and 2012.
Scholar Metrics include journal articles from websites that follow our
inclusion guidelines, selected conference articles in Computer Science & Electrical Engineering and preprints from arXiv, SSRN, NBER, and RePEc. As in previous releases, publications with fewer than 100 articles in 2008-2012, or publications that received no citations over this period are not included.
You can browse publications in broad areas like
Chemical & Material Sciences,
Physics & Mathematics, or
Life Sciences & Earth Sciences as well as specific categories such as
Computing Systems,
Software Systems,
Accounting & Taxation or
Plasma & Fusion. You will see the top 20 publications in the area ordered by their five-year h-index and h-median metrics. To see which articles in a publication were cited the most and who cited them, click on its h-index number.
This release is based on citations from all articles that were indexed in Google Scholar as of mid-July 2013. Since the previous release was based on citations from all articles indexed as of mid-Nov 2012, which is quite a bit later in the calendar year, the new numbers are expected to be a bit lower. Rest assured that this does not indicate that your favorite journal has become less influential over this short period.

Scholar Metrics help page.
