Microsoft Academic

This instructions describe how to use Webometric Analyst to download records from Microsoft Academic. Publish or Perish can also be used for this.

There are three options for Microsoft Academic, which are at the bottom of the citations menu.

Make queries: generates queries for individual documents from a list of document information (authors, title, publication year, journal).
Run queries: submits queries to Microsoft Academic.
Filter results: filters the results of the above step to remove false matches.
