Scholar Citation Monitor

Monitor Google Scholar author citation counts and track changes automatically without opening tabs

Track your Google Scholar citations effortlessly — without ever opening a browser tab. Scholar Citation Monitor is a lightweight Chrome extension that automatically tracks citation counts, h-index, i10-index, and per-paper citation changes for any Google Scholar authors you follow. Whether you're a researcher, academic, or student, stay on top of your scholarly impact with zero manual effort. Key Features: - Add Any Scholar — Paste a Google Scholar profile URL and the extension instantly fetches all citation data, including every paper. - Automatic Monitoring — Citations are refreshed every 30 minutes in the background. No need to open any page. - Per-Paper Change Tracking — See exactly which papers gained new citations and by how much, with a detailed change log. - New Citing Papers Tracking — When a paper's citation count goes up, automatically identify which papers newly cited it. Builds a silent baseline in the background, then surfaces genuinely new citers on every change (tracks papers with ≤100 citations to stay within Scholar's limits). - Citation History Charts — Expand any author card to visualize citation trends over 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, or all time. - Cumulative Change Records — Multiple citation updates accumulate into one total until you mark them as read (kept for 7 days), so you never miss what changed between refreshes. - Smart Anti-Block Recovery — If Google Scholar's bot detection interrupts a fetch, a one-click banner guides you through verification and resumes automatically. - Desktop Notifications — Get notified instantly when your citations increase or papers receive new references. - Multi-Domain Support — Automatically tries multiple Google Scholar domains (US, UK, CN, JP, DE, FR, and more) to ensure reliable access worldwide. - 8 Languages — Full interface in Chinese, English, German, French, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, and Portuguese. Switch anytime from the dropdown. - Zero Setup — Install, add your profile, done. No account, no login, no configuration needed. Why Install This? Checking Google Scholar manually is tedious and easy to forget. This extension runs silently in the background and alerts you the moment something changes — so you never miss a citation milestone again. Perfect for PhD students tracking their first citations, professors monitoring research impact, or anyone curious about how their work is being discovered.
