One of the services provided by Google is Google Scholar Citations (GSC) which enables you to register your publications and their citations on the Internet. Unlike the classical citation databases such as Web of Science and Scopus, in which citations are monitored only in a specific selection of journals and books, GSC also provides information on citations of other publications not registered in the databases mentioned above and also of scholarly works freely available on the Internet (e.g. a text published on a personal website). It offers a possibility for the author to learn more about who else has used their work as a source and cited it or referred to it.
Open the Google search engine (http://www.google.com) and in the right upper corner click on Sign In.
On the next page enter the e-mail address you commonly use and then you will be asked to create a password for your Google account. After you enter it a wizard will activate by means of which you can easily complete the registration.
In your profile click on the Add button and open the page with the selection of names and publications which Google suggested as those which you may have authored.
On the page with individual records mark those publications whose author or co-author you are and save your selection by clicking on the Add button at the very bottom. Previously saved entries cannot be added again, which you can see as a notification next to the publication that is already in your profile (nothing is marked in our example, because these are works by another person of the same name – note by JK).
After adding your publications, you should repeat the process with all the other names suggested by Google to verify whether there might be any other publication whose co-author, editor, etc. you are.
Editing the saved records
If you need to edit an already saved record (e.g. enter some missing data), click on the title of the respective record in the list of your publications and after it is displayed click on the Edit button.
A page will appear where you can edit or complete individual information, while at the heading of the form with the fields there are tabs for choosing the type of the document. After you finish editing, click on the Save button located both at the top and at the bottom.
