Aims
To collect research outputs by individual researchers from Google Scholar.
To develop techniques analysing the productivity of researchers.
To develop visualisation techniques that allow a presentation of the analyse.

Methodology
Data Crawling and Parsing Individual Researcher Groups of Researchers
Data Analysis Individual Researcher: yearly citation counts Groups of Researchers:
Calendar Year Citation/Publication Counts Career Year Citation/Publication Counts Career Year Citation/Publication : Average Counts Ratio Rank the Researchers
7
Methodology
Analysis Individual Researcher: calculate the yearly citation
counts for a researcher Groups of Researchers:
Calendar Year Citation/Publication Counts Career Year Citation/Publication Counts Career Year Citation/Publication : Average Counts Ratio Rank the Researchers

Evaluation
Accuracy of calculating the yearly citation counts for an individual researcher.
