    Dear all,

    I thought many of you might be interested to know that version 2.2 of
    Publish or Perish is now out. Publish or Perish is a software
    programme that retrieves and analyzes academic citations, using Google
    Scholar (http://www.harzing.com/pop.htm).

    Version 2.2 includes many usability enhancements as well as several
    new export formats and metrics. If you have any user feedback on the
    new version, please do not hesitate to contact me at pop@harzing.com.

    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,
