A few months ago, Google Scholar Citations released their tool, but only to a lucky few. After some tweaking, Google has finally released the tool for the rest of us to use!
Google Scholar Citations makes it easy for authors to compute their citation metrics and track them over time. A shortcoming of this tool: it assumes that all scholarship is digitally available on the web.
In any case, it will be interesting to see how this tool and its use in academe evolves.
