> Dear Members,
> 
> Anne-Wil Harzing of University of Melbourne has asked me to
> announce on this list that Version 2.3 of her Publish or Perish
> software has been released.  As many of you know, PoP is an 
> interface to Google Scholar that radically simplifies the gathering
> of citation data from the Web.  For author analysis it provides:
> 
> 
> 
> *	Total number of papers
> *	Total number of citations
> *	Average number of citations per paper
> *	Average number of citations per author
> *	Average number of papers per author
> *	Average number of citations per year
> *	Hirsch's h-index and related parameters
> *	Egghe's g-index
> *	The contemporary h-index
> *	The age-weighted citation rate
> *	Two variations of individual h-indices
> *	An analysis of the number of authors per paper.
> 
> It also has modules for analyzing contributors to a journal and 
> contributors to a subject literature as defined by the user.  
> 
> Several papers discussing its features are downloadable as well.
