CiteSearcher Details

CiteSearcher is a Google Scholar frontend for iOS and Android mobile devices. With it, you can easily search Google Scholar for an author's work, his/her Hirsch index (H-index), and G-Index. The index h is “defined as the number of papers with citation number ≥h”, and is often used “as a useful index to characterize the scientific output of a researcher” [J. E. Hirsch 2005]. For the G-Index, given a set of articles ranked in decreasing order of the number of citations that they received, the g-index is the (unique) largest number such that the top g articles received (together) at least g^2 citations. info%20screen.png
This is an example of a search result. It shows the name searched, the h-Index of that author, and how many results were used to calculate the index. The rest is a table of the results showing the title and the number of citations. search%20results.png
Once an article is selected from the list, the user will s a display with information about the article such as the title, authors, and links to web and pdf versions of the article. article%20view.png
Selecting the PDF link switches the view of the available PDF file. pdf%20view.png
