Your comparison Work through the questions, then generate graphs

01Field

What field are you interested in?

Compare academics within the same field, where publication and citation practices are more similar.

02Institutions

What kind of comparison are you trying to make?

03Academics

Which academic ranks should count?

These are current ranks. Select every rank you want to include.

Should academics need particular sources?

Leave these unchecked to include everyone in the selected ranks. These requirements select people; the publication questions below select their works.

May we use OpenAlex data?

04Publications

What kinds of publications?

Which publication years?

Leave either end blank for no limit. These dates select publications for the rankings and output charts. Faculty rank counts stay unchanged.

05Publication sources

Where must a publication be listed?

OR includes a work found in either selected source. AND requires it in every selected source. Select one source to use that source alone. OpenAlex-only authorship suggestions are excluded until supported by a CV or Scholar.

06Citations

For the selected publications, where should citations come from?

07Citation weights

Should citations from some journals count more?

Weights multiply each publication’s citation count. They do not change publication counts. The h-index of selected publications always uses unweighted citations.

Set the journal weighting formula on the Journals page ↗ (opens in a new tab, so you can keep these answers). Edit the visible formula, then save your weights.

08Academic metric

How should individual academics be compared?

Use the selected publications and citation source to measure each academic. These are individual results; no department scoring formula is applied.
