Citations tracked by Google Scholar is not controlled for quality in the same way as other citation databases, such as Scopus or Web of Science. Therefore, metrics from Google Scholar may appear higher or include errors. However, Google Scholar can provide better indexing of journal articles and citations in disciplines such as the humanities and social sciences, than the traditional citation databases.

The easiest way to find your citation count according to Google Scholar is to create an author profile and include all of your publications.

1. Go to Google Scholar 
2. Click on 'My Citations'
3. Login to your personal Google account. Your citation count will appear in the author details to the right of your profile.
