Google Scholar Metrics

These metrics list the h-index of a publication (rather than a researcher) and are based on the Google Scholar database. One advantage of the Google Scholar data is that it includes web repositories like the Social Science Research Network and arXiv. One disadvantage is that you can't see a title's ranking within a subject (unless all publications in that subject share a common keyword in their title). See the help page for more information.

Google Metrics
-Select a category on the left and then select 'subcategories' to see detailed rankings of the top journals in a specific subject area.
-Or use the search box to find a journal or set of journals with a particular term in the title.
-Clicking on the h-index for any specific publication opens up a page with details on the articles and citations statistics constituting its h-core.
Google Scholar Citations
is a service where you can set up a profile, keep track of web citations to your articles, graph citations over time, and compute several citation metrics.
