Google announced a new feature to its Scholar service. This was no prank. It was the genuine debut of a new tool called Google Scholar Metrics.
The service follows the same principle that has made Google's web
search engine so successful - when you are unsure what a user is looking
for, give them a list of options ranked by a metric of popularity.
In this instance, the users are academics ready to submit their next
breakthrough but are uncertain which journal to choose. The solution
Scholar Metrics offers is a database summarizing the sway of the
distributors of scholarship "to help authors as they consider where to publish their new research".
Here's how it works. http://www.significancemagazine.org/
