Aplicaciones métricas de Google Scholar para la evaluación del impacto científico

The emergence of Google Scholar in 2004 revolutioned both the search process academic information and the scientific assessment (especially in the areas of Social sciences and Humanities) thanks to its huge database based on gathering any online academic document, despite the errors and inaccuracies in the correct citation assignment. This paper presents the development of different metric information products made from Google Scholar (H Index Scholar, Publishers Scholar Metrics, Journal Scholar Metrics, and the Spanish Librarianship according to Google Scholar Citations) in order to show the potential and usefulness of this database to be used by the different actors involved in the creation, dissemination and evaluation of scientific activity.
