This is a great tool.  It lets you answer some very interesting questions, 
like....

* What is the most cited article from JCMC in X year?
* What is Y author's Hirsch Index?
* What publications of mine are most mis-cited?

.. with very little effort.

Dear Members,

Anne-Wil Harzing of University of Melbourne has asked me to
announce on this list that Version 2.3 of her Publish or Perish
software has been released.  As many of you know, PoP is an
interface to Google Scholar that radically simplifies the gathering
of citation data from the Web.  For author analysis it provides:

     * 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.

It also has modules for analyzing contributors to a journal and
contributors to a subject literature as defined by the user.

Several papers discussing its features are downloadable as well.
