Scholar metrics are the citation figures shown on researcher profiles. They come from your linked Google Scholar profile, so they reflect the same numbers you would see there.
Where the numbers come from
When you add your Google Scholar profile (the profile link or its ID) in your settings, Scholardemia fetches the headline figures from that public profile: total citations, h-index, i10-index, and citations per year. Results are cached, so the numbers refresh periodically rather than on every page view.
What each metric means
- Citations: the total number of citations to your indexed works.
- h-index: the largest number h such that h of your works have each been cited at least h times. It balances productivity and impact.
- i10-index: the number of your works with at least ten citations.
- Citations per year: the year-by-year counts behind the totals, useful for seeing trends.
Keeping them accurate
Because the figures mirror Google Scholar, corrections happen there: merge duplicate entries and remove misattributed works on your Scholar profile, and the numbers here follow. If your profile shows no metrics, check that the Scholar link or ID in your settings is correct and that your Scholar profile is public.
