Setting Up a Google Scholar Profile

Google Scholar Profiles provide a simple way for authors to showcase their academic publications. With such a profile, authors can check to see who is citing their articles, graph citations over time, and compute several citation metrics. They  can also make their profile public, so that it may appear in Google Scholar results when people search for their names.

Google Scholar Profiles are easy to set up and simple to maintain. Authors can add groups of related articles, not just one article at a time; and citation metrics are computed and updated automatically as Google Scholar finds new citations an author's work on the web.

In order to create a profile, you must have a Google Account. To get started, you should sign into your Google Account, or create a Google Account if you do not already have one.  

Go to Google Scholar and click My Profile at the top of the page, on the left side, to create your profile.  From this screen you can:

• Set up your initial profile by entering your profile information, including where you work, name, photo, and research interests.

• Manage your publications.
