Dear all,
I thought many of you might be interested that version 2.4 of Publish or
Perish is now out. In version 2.4, we have changed internal memory
allocation strategy to reduce memory load. This should be particularly
useful for those of you who are using the tool a lot and have gathered
a large amount of queries in the multi-query center. We have also made
application startup faster.
Publish or Perish is a software program that retrieves and analyzes
academic citations, using Google Scholar (http://www.harzing.com/pop.htm).
The programme should be useful for academics preparing for confirmation,
tenure, promotion or job applications. The advantages of using Google
Scholar instead of ISI Thomson data are explained in detail at:
http://www.harzing.com/pop_gs.htm
The choice for Google Scholar is particularly relevant for Management
scholars as many good journals in our field are not ISI listed and hence
citations in these journals are not counted by ISI.
My website also includes two further white papers on this topic:
* Reflections on the h-index
http://www.harzing.com/pop_hindex.htm
* Reflections on norms for the h-index and related indices
http://www.harzing.com/pop_norm.htm
Finally, Publish or Perish includes a detailed help file with search
tips and additional information about the citation metrics. The help
file is now also available online:

Best wishes,
