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.

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