Read any scholar's profile the way a referee would.

Load the entire career

Google Scholar only renders the first page of papers. Deep Scan clicks “Show more” every 650 ms until the list is exhausted, then recomputes every metric. On ORCID records the same button reads Re-Sync ORCID and re-fetches the works list.

• The status line N=… PAPERS • xJ (Q1 Q2 Q3) • yC updates as rows load.
• Run it first. Partial lists understate the h-index and the quartile counts.

Resolve authors, venues and quartiles

Looks up each title on api.openalex.org to fetch the DOI, open-access PDF, abstract, complete author list and venue metadata. Truncated “...” lists are replaced, and each venue is re-classified from OpenAlex’s source type and two-year impact instead of the name heuristic.

• In the demo, Lecture Notes in Computer Science flips from a guessed journal to a conference after verification.
• Resolved venues show RESOLVED VIA OPENALEX in the Journals & Quartiles ledger.

Track your own citations

Saves the profile you are viewing as “your” profile for the extension popup. From then on, clicking the ScholarHere icon in the browser toolbar shows your live citations, h-index and i10-index, and how many citations you gained since the last sync.

• Only shown on Google Scholar profiles, not on ORCID.
• You can also paste the URL into the popup yourself.

Save a benchmark

Stores this profile’s computed metrics in your browser. Open any other Google Scholar or ORCID profile and the Compare tab lines the two up with deltas.

Take the ledger with you

Downloads ScholarHere_<lastname>.csv with Title, Year, Venue_Type, Journal_Quartile, Role, Author_Position, Total_Authors, Fractional_Share_Pct, Citations, Velocity_Per_Yr and Venue for every loaded paper.

The headline read

Six indices, an authorship-position bar, a journal-quartile and venue-mix bar, a 12-year publication rhythm, and filter pills plus live search that filter the paper list in place.

• Leadership above 50% means the scholar usually leads the work.
• Lead h close to overall h means impact is independent, not consortium-driven.
• Pills filter by role (1st / Solo, Last / PI) or venue (Q1, Q2 & Q3, journals, conferences).

Where the work was published

Counts journals, Q1, Q2 and Q3 papers, conferences and preprints, then lists every paper with its venue, venue type, quartile or conference tier, the scholar’s role and its citations. Filter the ledger by quartile or venue type.

• Q1 is the top 25% of journals in a field, Q2 the next 25%, Q3 the 50–75% band.
• Before verification, quartiles come from venue-name patterns. After it, they come from the OpenAlex two-year impact (≥4.2 Q1, ≥2.2 Q2, ≥0.9 Q3, otherwise Q4).
• Conferences are marked CONF • CORE A* for flagship venues such as USENIX Security, CCS, NDSS and INFOCOM.

Proof for the h-index

Ranks papers by citations and marks each one IN h-CORE with its surplus, or NEEDS +x FOR h+1. Headline cards show the h-core size, lead h-core, lead citation share and the citations needed to reach the next h.

• h-Core & Threshold shows the core plus the next three candidates.
• Lead-Author Evidence Only reveals whether h is propped up by middle-author papers.
• Fastest Velocity lists papers gaining at least 8 citations a year.

Who actually did the work

For every paper: the scholar’s slot position, role classification, fractional credit (1/N) and an audit status. Truncated lists are scored conservatively at 1/max(N+2, 6) until resolved.

• VERIFIED DOM — full author list visible on Scholar.
• PARTIAL LIST — list is cut with “...”, but the scholar is visible.
• TRUNCATED (HIDDEN) — the scholar is hidden behind “...”; could be middle or last.
• RESOLVED VIA OPENALEX — the full list was recovered.

Collaboration network

Top 12 recurring collaborators ranked by joint papers, with combined and average citations per joint work. Useful for mapping a lab and spotting conflicts of interest.

Side-by-side benchmark

Current vs. pinned scholar across leadership ratio, lead h-index, Q1 / Q2 / Q3 journal counts, journals vs. conferences and citation velocity, each with a signed delta.

Email or audit summary

Drafts an inquiry email from the scholar’s affiliation, most-cited paper and top title keywords. Generate Audit Summary swaps in a plain-text brief with the venue breakdown and journal quartiles, plus the ORCID iD on ORCID records. Copy Text puts either on your clipboard.

Role and position

SOLO, 1ST AUTHOR, LAST / PI or CO-AUTHOR, with the slot and team size. A “+” means the list was truncated.

Venue type and quartile

Every paper is tagged JOURNAL • Q1, Q2, Q3 or Q4, CONF • CORE A* or CONFERENCE, or PREPRINT (arXiv, bioRxiv, SSRN). Q1 is solid, Q2 outlined in blue, Q3 in amber.

Citation velocity

Shown when a paper earns at least 8 citations per year since publication — a quick marker of work that is still moving.

Per-paper actions

Inspect opens an OpenAlex drawer with the abstract, DOI and open PDF. BibTeX copies a ready entry. After verification, OPEN PDF ↗ and DOI ↗ appear inline.

Live citation tracker

Click the ScholarHere icon in your browser toolbar. The first time, paste your Google Scholar URL (or press Set My Profile on your profile). After that, the popup shows your citations with the change since the last sync, plus h-index, i10-index and their five-year values.

• Sync re-reads your public Scholar profile and updates the +N badge.
• Edit URL switches to a different profile.
• Shortcuts open Google Scholar, the ORCID registry, this site and the GitHub repo.

ORCID profiles

Open any ORCID record and the terminal appears above its works list. It reads the ORCID iD from the URL, pulls the works from the ORCID public API and OpenAlex, and computes every tab from fully resolved author lists, with an ORCID iD badge in the header.

• Works load automatically, so the button reads Re-Sync ORCID instead of Deep Scan.
• Set My Profile is Scholar-only. Pin Compare works across Scholar and ORCID.
