Google scholar provides useful information for e.g, citations for your papers.

This repo can be used to extract information from your Google Scholar and display them in your personal website.

You can go to my web page to have a brief idea of it.

There are two versions.

  • Standalone mode (Php_Standalone directory, No longer maintained). It is written purely in PHP and Javascript, which means that your website can show the real-time Google Scholar citation information. In addition, it is easy to use, just copy to your web server and configure the URL of your Google Scholar. However, it can only display up to 20 articles, as Google Scholar hides the remaining.

  • Offline mode (Python_Offline directory). In which I write a Python program to extract all citation information from Google Scholar. The Python script generate a text file with all your citation information. Then, you can upload the text file along with a Javascript file to you web server. The advantage is that you can have all your citations. The bad thing is that you need somehow to upload the citation text file to your server. It is not difficult though. I have made a script to do that at my PC startup.

Interfaces

Both versions have same interfaces for your web pages.

.innerText is changed according to the class name.

  • dtcGoogleUpdateTime: update time (Python_Offline only)
  • dtcGoogleCitationsAll: total citation counts
  • dtcGoogleCitationsRecent: total citations counts in recent 5 years
  • dtcGoogleHIndexAll: h-index of all citations
  • dtcGoogleHIndexRecent: h-index of citations in recent 5 years
  • dtcGoogleI10IndexAll: i10-index of all citations
  • dtcGoogleI10IndexRecent: i10-index of citations in recent 5 years

For each paper and its citation, you need to use two class names in pair.

  • dtcGooglePaperTitle: your paper title
  • dtcGoogleCitationCount: the place you want to show its citation count

You need to check the paper title in your Google Scholar and the paper title in your website. I have made paper titles into lowercase alphabetical only. For example, if your paper title in Google Scholar is Hi, I am an awesome paper, it converts into hiiamanawesomepaper. On your website, your paper will get matched no matter it is hi, I AM AN aweSOME PAper, or HI? Iam an awesome paper?. You know what I mean :)
