My Citations is a researcher profile tool integrated into Google Scholar. When you create an account, Google will automatically search for publications it believes to be yours and ask you to verify these citations as your own. You can also add citations manually for any publications that Google may have missed.
As you continue to publish, your My Citations profile will update automatically, always asking you to verify the citations it finds before adding them to your profile.
Please Note: Setting up a My Citations profile requires an existing Google Account [i.e. Gmail account]. If you don't have a Google Account, set one up here.
