This is a small piece of Java-script that calculates and adds G-Index and total publication count on Google scholar profile pages.
-
The script can be used as a Greasemonkey / Tampermonkey script. That way the G-index and total publication count will be automatically added every time a Google scholar profile page is visited.
-
Or, you may just create a browser bookmark with the following Javascript URL. Although this is the quickest way to start using the script, it'll require you to click the bookmark button every time you'll calculate g-index.
-
If you are using the bookmark method, once the Google Scholar profile is loaded, just click the bookmark and it'll automatically calculate and add G-Index beneath the H-Index and i10-Index on the same page.
-
To create a quick bookmark in your bookmark-bar, you may just select the whole Java-script code below, drag and drop it on your bookmark-bar.
javascript:(function(){d=document;s=d.createElement("script");s.src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/gsbabil/google-scholar-gindex/master/Google_Scholar_G-Index.user.js?_"+new%20Date().getTime();d.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(s);})();
- Here's a screen-shot showing how to add the bookmark in Google Chrome:
- The following screen-shot shows where the newly added bookmark goes. For ease of use, you should un-hide your bookmark-bar and place your bookmark there.
Credit is due to Guido Governatori for his Ruby script and Rob van Glabbeek for his PERL script to calculate G-index from off-line Google scholar HTML page.
