Google Scholar users now have a way of discovering impact factors for journals and authors. Google Scholar Metrics includes:
Visit the Google Scholar Metrics help page for an explanation of each of these metrics. Metrics measuring impacts for journals are the h5-index and h5-median. To find these, visit the Google Scholar search publications page (image below), where you can search by journal title, and filter by language. This page, however, is linked only from the Google Scholar Metrics help page, but not the Google Scholar main page.
To find the career-cumulative and 5-year h-indexes for individual authors (including yourself if any of your output appears in Google Scholar), click “My Citations,” and you will be prompted to create a profile. Upon doing so, your profile will feature a “Search Authors” box in the upper right-hand corner. Enter the name of a researcher, and if that researcher also has a “My Citations” profile, you will be able to view that author’s impact scores and times cited for each of his or her articles indexed in Google Scholar.
