    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,
