Tiptop questions

How to cite the Publish or Perish software

If you are using the Publish or Perish software in one of your research articles or otherwise want to refer to it, delight use the following format:

Harzing, A.Due west. (2007) Publish or Perish, available from https://harzing.com/resources/publish-or-perish

Why employ Publish or Perish rather than online portals?

Here'south the response of 1 of our users; we couldn't take said it better ourselves:

Searching for publications through internet portals is a pain as they are typically quite deadening, all have different interfaces that aren't particularly intuitive and don't help at all to proceed runway of the searches you have already done. Pop solves all the issues in a higher place, it is both easier and faster to use than web portal alternatives. With PoP I experience much more than confident that I can perform a systematic review of available literature on a topic when using PoP. I also really similar how the results from a search are displayed; it is easy to rank them and/or filter them by a broad variety of criteria and this is really helpful.

Author disambiguation (getting simply the author you want)

This is a very catchy problem. Even commercial databases like Thomson Reuters Web of Scientific discipline (ISI) have problems with this, see:

  • Harzing, A.Due west. (2016) Health warning: Might comprise multiple personalities. The problem of homonyms in Thomson Reuters Essential Science Indicators, Scientometrics, vol. 105, no. 3, pp. 2259-2270. Available online...

All the same, in that location is a lot you can do to get the right author by "smart searching". Take a look at the Publish or Perish tutorial which has lots of tips and tricks. In particular, read the pages on writer disambiguation.

Where are "any of the words", "all of the words" and "none of the words" fields in PoP7?

We removed these fields [specific to Google Scholar] to let for a more than flexible and repeatable search across data sources. However, these kind of searches are still possible in the new Title words and Keywords fields by using the Boolean operators OR, AND and NOT [in capitals]. Please note not all information sources allow all operators.

For more than information on this see General/keyword search in the documentation.

Can you bring dorsum the subject area categories?

Sorry, it is Google who removed them!

Many longstanding users are asking to reinstate the subject/field of study categories. Removing them was certainly non by option: Google Scholar abolished them in 2012; they merits they were not used by most users.

For more data on this see Google Scholar: missing subject areas in the documentation.

Why practice you give me these stupid CAPTCHAs?

We don't consequence CAPTCHAs; Google does.

Again, recall that Publish or Perish is an interface to Google Scholar and other data sources. We take admittedly no interest in blocking your use of Publish or Perish. On the contrary, we do our best to comply with the various data sources' requirements in terms of query rates and query volumes.

For Google Scholar this may occasionally cause the advent of a CAPTCHA to verify that you are a human, not a robot, if y'all exercise regular searches. When that happens, Publish or Perish displays the CAPTCHA to let you solve it, then uses the resulting Google Scholar access token to continue with your search.

In farthermost cases Google might return an HTTP status lawmaking 429 (Too Many Requests); in that case you will accept to refrain from using Google Scholar for 24 hours or so earlier retrying.

For more information see Google Scholar: Captchas.

Please notation: Google Scholar Contour searches are not subject to the same captcha requests; the other information sources in Publish or Perish practise not display CAPTCHAs either, only may impose their own limits in other ways.

Why is my h-index in PoP different from ... [Google Scholar,Spider web of Science, Scopus]?

  1. Provided you use exactly the same search syntax in both, your h-alphabetize in PoP and GS will identical (see Accuracy: Popular vs GS).
  2. The Web of Science (ISI), Scopus, Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic have unlike levels of coverage for different disciplines. For a comprehensive comparing, please see: Microsoft Academic: is the Phoenix getting wings?

Aid! Microsoft Academic is no longer working

Microsoft Academic discontinued API access later on 31 December 2021. For details see the Microsoft announcement here. The MA web interface has besides been discontinued and now redirects to the Microsoft dwelling house folio. We have maintained Microsoft Academic documentation for heritage projects.

I'm getting an "Invalid certificate" error when performing a query

This may occur in Publish or Perish version 5.ten if you are still using Windows XP. Y'all will typically meet a dialog box similar to the following:

Invalid certificate warning

The underlying cause of the error bulletin is a mismatch between the SSL certificate that Publish or Perish expects for its connection to Google Scholar and the bodily certificate provided by Google Scholar'south server.

It appears that Google sends an SSL certificate for www.google.com instead of scholar.google.com or *.google.com for requests that originate from older versions of Cyberspace Explorer (such as IE8 that Publish or Perish uses on Windows XP, because no subsequently versions than Internet Explorer 8 are bachelor for Windows XP).

A more sinister potential cause is that you lot are using a web proxy (maybe your organisation's) and that its SSL certificates are invalid or even compromised, or that you are using an anti-virus tool or similar security program that actively intercepts HTTPS connections and offers its own SSL certificates.

In that location are several (fractional) solutions to this issue, depending on the exact cause. Yous will have to try them each until y'all find 1 that works.

Earlier you start, make sure that you are using Publish or Perish 5.27 or later. We accept added some automated mitigations for the certificate bug in this version of Publish or Perish.

  1. Simply click "Aye" when asked if you want to proceed. This doesn't solve anything, but it might go y'all through. It might exist necessary to retry your query subsequently clicking Aye for the first time.
    --or--
  2. Make sure that you are Non using a proxy. Proxies are oftentimes desperately configured, particularly when you try to perform HTTPS (secure) web connections. You can find the applicative proxy settings, if any, by choosing Tools > Internet Options from PoP'south main card, so going to the Connections tab, clicking on the LAN settings button, and making sure that no proxy is configured.
    --or--
  3. Change the Google Scholar URL (if you are trying to perform a Google Scholar lookup, and non Microsoft Bookish) to apply plain HTTP (insecure) instead of HTTPS (secure): choose Tools > Preferences on the Pop main menu, get to the Google Scholar tab, and edit the Query URL field and so information technology starts with http:// instead of https:// This won't work for Microsoft Bookish --which e'er uses HTTPS-- and may not work much longer for Google Scholar, because Google is also transitioning to HTTPS-only.
    --or--
  4. Upgrade your system to at least Windows 7 and at least Cyberspace Explorer 11, and make sure that all "recommended" Windows Update updates take been applied.

Search questions

Why have Google Scholar queries become so much slower?

To avoid exceeding the maximum acceptable Google Scholar request rate.

In February 2013 Google Scholar reduced the maximum number of results per request from 100 to 20. Afterward it reduced this further to ten results per asking. This means that Publish or Perish at present has to perform upwards to 10 times as many requests per query in lodge to evidence the full results.

  • More data requests hateful that Publish or Perish hits the maximum number of requests that Google Scholar allows per hour sooner.
  • If the number of requests exceeds the maximum that Google Scholar allows, your IP accost will be temporarily blocked by Google Scholar. This block tin last for up to 24 hours.
  • To avert hitting the maximum allowable request limit, Publish or Perish now uses an adaptive request charge per unit limiter. This limits the number of requests that are sent to Google Scholar inside a given menses, both short-term (during the concluding 60 seconds) and medium term (during the last hr).
  • To reach the required reduction in requests, Publish or Perish delays subsequent requests for a variable amount of time (up to ane infinitesimal). The higher the recent asking rate, the longer the delays.

The net effect is that queries will take longer than earlier. The alternative is existence blocked by Google Scholar for up to 24 hours. We consider the relatively curt delays during queries as the lesser evil, hence the adaptive rate limiter. If you lot perform queries with few results or only occasionally, then the request rate limiter volition have niggling or no effect on the query fourth dimension. In this instance, the required delays are short or non-existent, and Publish or Perish will retrieve outcome pages every bit fast as it did in the past.

However, if you perform queries that yield many results (several hundred or more) or upshot a number of queries in short succession, then the request charge per unit limiter will insert progressively longer delays to keep the overall request rate within acceptable limits. If you want to avoid this, and then the all-time remedy is to spread your queries over the day.

To use the adaptive request rate limiter, make certain that:

  • You are using Publish or Perish version four.0.12 or later (if not, then we strongly recommend that yous upgrade to the latest release).
  • The adaptive rate limiter is enabled and uses the recommended settings.

Publish or Perish only searches for English names?

Non so; you can search for any name (or other words) regardless of the language.

Publish or Perish submits your query properly encoded to each data source, so as long every bit a data source has matching information, the information volition be found. Still, it can be that the data source's coverage of non-English source textile is less complete than that of English.

How do I search for names with accents?

If y'all are looking for an writer whose name contains accented messages, then information technology might help if you include several variations of the name, both with and without accents, and besides with the accented letters missing. The reason for the latter is that some information sources cannot handle accented letters and either omit them or map them to the closest accent-less equivalent.

For case, to search for someone with the surname Veríssimo (notation the emphasis on the first 'i'), use the post-obit names in the Authordue south field:

Veríssimo OR Verissimo OR Verssimo        

I take published under several names. How do I find all my papers?

Past using an OR query in the Authors field and specifying all names nether which you published. For instance, if y'all changed y'all name when you married, then use a query that includes both your maiden name and your married name.

How practise I exclude self-citations from the results?

You lot cannot practice so directly.

Publish or Perish uses a number of data sources and identifying self-citations requires numerous follow-up queries, potentially exceeding the adequate number of search requests for the data sources. For that reason, Publish or Perish implements first-level queries only. If you desire to exclude cocky-citations, you must identify them yourself and then exclude them from the Results list past immigration their check boxes.

Tin can I use Boolean expressions in an author search?

Yes to some extent. The following seem to piece of work with the Authors field:

  • To perform an "and" search, enter multiple author names separated by AND [not supported in Crossref]
  • To perform an "or" search, enter multiple writer names separated by OR
  • To perform a "not" search, enter multiple author names separated past Not [not supported in Crossref or Microsoft Academic]

Notation that if you apply initials or given names, you demand to put quotes effectually the name, east.k. "A Harzing". Also note that the Boolean operators need to be in Uppercase to be recognized as such.

How practise I search for all publications past authors affiliated with <my university proper noun> in Google Scholar?

You cannot exercise so direct.

Google Scholar does not have a affiliation field in the aforementioned mode that some other data sources have. Hence a search like the i you describe will not always requite reliable results. You can try to search with your academy name in the General Search Keywords field (for details see General Search: Institutions), but this will match the name anywhere in the documents (not just as author affiliation) and for some universities is not comprehensive. Currently, we therefore cannot recommend this blazon of analyses with Google Scholar beyond very general curiosity driven experiments.

Other data sources allow for affiliation searches with varying levels of reliability.

For more information meet Affiliation search in the documentation.

Can I use Publish or Perish to identify the main publications in a sure area?

Yeah, upwards to a betoken. Search for relevant keywords in the Keywords or Title words field (see helpfile for description of these fields). The most cited results are (probably) the main publications.

Can I use Publish or Perish to identify the main authors in a certain expanse?

Yes, up to a betoken. Yous can find the principal authors (or at least the most cited ones) in both a subject expanse and in a specific journal.

In a subject area: Search for relevant keywords in either theKeywords or Championship words field field (meet helpfile for description of these fields).

In a specific periodical: Search for the relevant periodical in the Publication proper noun field. You lot may desire to restrict your search to a certain catamenia by using the Year of publication fields.

The most cited results belong to (probably) the chief authors in the field or journal. You can too sort the results listing on the Authors column; this groups papers past the aforementioned author together and may tell you at a glance who the most active authors are in a given expanse or journal.

Why do I get so many irrelevant results?

Possibly because your search is overly broad and you only see a tiny subset of the results.

Instance: if you search for all papers published in:

"Strategic management journal" OR "Academy of Management Periodical" OR "Periodical of Business organization Venturing" OR "Entrepreneurship Theory and Exercise" OR "Academy of Direction Review" OR "Administrative Scientific discipline Quarterly"

so there are hundreds of thousands (for some data sources perchance even millions) of potential matches. Withal, all data sources restrict the maximum number of results that they render to a much lower number, typically 200-1000. You will therefore only see a miniscule portion of the matches and probably not what y'all are looking for.

To resolve this, brand you search specific. But search for i or a few journals (for case) at a time, and even then restrict the potential number of results by using year ranges, calculation keywords, or adding specific author names.

Alternatively, and in particular if yous perform a Google Scholar search, you may get too many results or irrelevant ones because your search contains likewise many terms and Google Scholar ignores the surplus (empirically, anything beyond the kickoff 250 or and so characters) and returns results based only on the get-go few search terms. If your search contained additional, more specific terms, and so those will simply be ignored, causing irrelevant results to exist shown.

Other data sources than Google Scholar usually take college limits on the length of the search terms or produce a more or less meaningful fault message if you exceed their limits. However, you should nevertheless mind our advice and make your search specific because overly wide search terms may cause internal overflows in some of the other data sources, causing them to render cipher results or some other mistake message even if there ought to be a reasonably small set of results.

How do I go more results than the 200 or 1000 that Publish or Perish allows?

Publish or Perish does not by itself limit the number of results that yous volition receive. Any limits are imposed past the original information source:

  • Crossref: 200
  • Google Scholar: 1000
  • Microsoft Bookish: 5000
  • PubMed: thou (199 for author and affiliation searches; 199 or 398 for some championship and keyword searches, verbal details unknown at present)
  • Scopus: 200
  • Spider web of Scientific discipline: 200

Think: Publish or Perish is merely an interface to these data sources!

The other affair to consider is this: do y'all actually need more results? Will you really apply all 200 or g results, or fifty-fifty more? Would it not be better to make your search more than specific, and then you will merely get the results that are really relevant to you?

If you actually, positively, absolutely, demand more than the number of results that the information source allows for any given search and you cannot make your search more specific, and so partition your search by using non-overlapping twelvemonth ranges. Publish or Perish makes this easy: when you click the New push button, the new search will exist preset to the aforementioned parameters as the original search, so all you have to do is adjust the yr range in the new search.

Missing papers or references

Publish or Perish doesn't find any of my papers!

Assuming that yous really have published scholarly papers, there may be several reasons why Publish or Perish doesn't return any results for your name.

  • You spelt your name incorrectly. Correct any typos and try again.
  • You lot entered your given names in full instead of as initials. This may find some papers, only many publishers only list the author's initials and a total name search misses those papers. To be on the condom side, attempt using both full names and initials in a single query, like this (the "quotes" are highly recommended): "A Harzing" OR "Anne-Wil Harzing"
  • Your papers are not available online, neither through your publishers nor through your own web pages. If that is the case, and then Google Scholar and Microsoft Bookish exercise non know well-nigh your papers.
  • You published in a language other than English language. Google Scholar's and Microsoft Academic's coverage are improving, only non-English publications still are underrepresented in the results.

Here are more search tips and an explanation of Google Scholar limitations.

Can you please add/right [...]?

Deplorable, we exercise non maintain a publication database.

Publish or Perish is an interface to the various information sources (Crossref, Google Scholar, Google Scholar Profiles, Microsoft Academic, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science). We exercise not sit down upwardly at night entering your publications in a "Harzing database" every bit some users seem to think :-).

Some information sources collect their data past scraping publishers web sites (for instance, Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic exercise and then), while others rely on data entry by publishers or authors, or use another form of curation (for case Crossref, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science).

Regardless of the method used for data collection, occasional errors will and do occur in the external data sources, so you lot volition need to contact the individual information sources for whatever problems with your publications or citations.

For more information, see the Accurateness page of the Publish or Perish manual.

My newspaper/book does not appear in Publish or Perish. Can you right this?

Sorry, no. We do not personally maintain a database of academic publications.

Publish or Perish uses a variety of data sources to obtain its raw data. The quality and scope of their databases vary; some data sources exercise automated processing, others (like Web of Science or Scopus) perform a mixture of automatic and manual curation. However, none of the data sources are perfect and occasional errors or omissions exercise occur.

This may exist due to:

  • Papers that are not (notwithstanding) available online. This includes many older papers.
  • The nature of the publication: some books and other not-periodical publications might not be accessible to the data source, or just not included in its corpus.
  • Publishing in journals to which the data source in question has no access considering of the periodical publishers' policy or publishing understanding.

For more information limitations of Google Scholar, see the Google Scholar pages in the Popular tutorial.

My journal does not appear in Publish or Perish. Can you correct this?

Distressing, no. We do not personally maintain a database of academic journals.

Publish or Perish uses a multifariousness of data sources to obtain its raw data. The quality and telescopic of their databases vary; some data sources do automatic processing, others (similar Web of Science or Scopus) perform a mixture of automatic and manual curation. However, none of the data sources are perfect and occasional errors or omissions practice occur.

If a particular journal does not appear in a data source, that could be due to ane or more of the post-obit reasons:

  • The journal in question is not attainable to the data source in question because of the journal publishers' policy or publishing understanding. This is likely to use to automated data sources such as Google Scholar and Microsoft Bookish.
  • The journal in question is not included in the data source's corpus. This is likely to apply to curated information sources such every bit Scopus and Web of Science.

Any the verbal cause, you volition need to contact both the periodical'south publisher and the owner of the data source (remember, that is not us!) to go them to sort things out between them.

I am a journal editor. How do I get Publish or Perish to list my journal?

Nosotros do non personally maintain a database of academic publications.

Publish or Perish uses Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic information to calculate its citation metrics. You will therefore need to contact them to include your journal. Once they do, Publish or Perish will use the same data.

The number of citations for my newspaper is too low. Can you correct this?

Sorry, no. We do non personally maintain a database of academic publications.

Equally indicated elsewhere on the this website, Publish or Perish uses Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic data to calculate its commendation metrics. Their processing is automated (unlike ISI'south or Scopus' that involves manual handling and checking, with the associated price tag) and hence occasional errors or omissions practice occur.

This may be due to:

  • Incorrect or sloppy referencing of your paper by others. Endeavor to find the referencing works to meet if this is the case.
  • References in older journals or in journals that are not bachelor online. Google Scholar only uses online data; if your paper or the references to it are not online, they volition be omitted.
  • References in journals to which Google Scholar or Microsoft Academic has no access considering of the journals publishers' policy.

For more information limitations of Google Scholar, see the Google Scholar pages in the Popular tutorial.

Publish or Perish does not find all my publications, but Google Scholar does. Why?

Publish or Perish uses the Google Scholar Advanced Search options. This is not the same as the standard Google Scholar search box. The search results might differ for one or more of the following reasons:

  • A Google Scholar general search returns papers in which the search terms that you entered appear anywhere - as writer, title, or even in the contents. In contrast, a Publish or Perish search is more specific and will only return papers that friction match in the fields that you lot specified: writer names only in the author field, title words only in the championship, etc.
  • Perchance Google Scholar did non allocate your proper name correctly as an "author", only somewhere else (for case as part of the title - this is ordinarily due to sloppy references to your article). A Google Scholar general search will still include the paper, but the more than specific search that Publish or Perish uses will not if it does not detect your proper noun in the "Author" field.

For more details on this, please see Accuracy of the results.

Why do some results have truncated (...) fields, such as "International Journal of ...."?

In the early days, Google Scholar provided complete records for authors and the publication source. Notwithstanding, since about 2012 both fields are regularly truncated, with function of the field replaced by dots […..]. Nosotros do not know why Google Scholar decided to introduce truncation. Information technology might exist related to the "infinite" available in these fields. Unfortunately it can make finding the right publication very frustrating, both in the Google Scholar interface and in Publish or Perish. For more details see: Google Scholar: Truncation

Workaround: Apply Publish or Perish to generate a listing of articles (including truncated entries) and salve the results as BibTeX, EndNote, or RIS/Reference Manager (Select the Query, Right-click and click Salve to File). Import this file into a new folder in Mendeley, right click and select 'update details'. This completes almost of the truncated entries. Please note that this is limited to entries where Mendeley can find the total entry and is thus more likely to piece of work for traditional publications such as journal manufactures. [Thank you to Alex Harrison at the European Society of Endocrinology for this tip]

Duplicate entries

My paper appears as several unlike entries in Publish or Perish. Tin can't you combine these?

Publish or Perish uses Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic information and these data occasionally divide what you know is a single paper into multiple entries. This is normally due to wrong or sloppy referencing of your paper by others, which causes Google Scholar to believe that the referenced works are unlike. Every bit of Publish or Perish release 3.0.3780 it is possible to merge duplicate results manually in the results list.

My paper is duplicated nether unlike languages of the same periodical. Can't you combine these?

Publish or Perish uses Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic data and these information sources will typically consider different language editions of what y'all know equally the aforementioned journal as separate journals. For instance, English and French versions of a Canadian journal (or just of different versions of the journal title) will typically exist considered to exist different. As of Publish or Perish release 3.0.3780 it is possible to merge duplicate results manually in the results list.

Other search and results issues

How exercise I ameliorate the accurateness with which Google Scholar lists my papers?

In general, this is rather difficult, because a lot depends on the accurateness with which your papers are referenced by others.

However, if you accept separate spider web pages for each of your papers, then Google Scholar advises that you can add together several meta tags to your pages to help Google'south crawler to list your paper. In particular, they recommend using the following tags (replace the content="..." bits with your own information):

<meta name="citation_journal_title" content="Journal Proper name"> <meta proper name="citation_authors" content="Last Name1, First Name1; Last Name2, First Name2"> <meta name="citation_title" content="Commodity Title"> <meta name="citation_date" content="01/01/2007"> <meta name="citation_volume" content="10"> <meta name="citation_issue" content="1"> <meta name="citation_firstpage" content="i"> <meta proper name="citation_lastpage" content="15"> <meta name="citation_doi" content="10.1074/jbc.M309524200"> <meta name="citation_pdf_url" content="http://www.publishername.org/10/ane/1.pdf"> <meta name="citation_abstract_html_url" content="http://www.publishername.org/cgi/content/abstruse/10/i/1"> <meta proper name="citation_fulltext_html_url" content="http://www.publishername.org/cgi/content/full/x/i/1"> <meta name="dc.Correspondent" content="Last Name1, Beginning Name1"> <meta name="dc.Contributor" content="Concluding Name2, First Name2"> <meta name="dc.Title" content="Article Title"> <meta proper noun="dc.Engagement" content="01/01/2007"> <meta name="citation_publisher" content="Publisher Name">

If you lot don't know what meta tags are, and then this data is not for y'all.

Tin can Publish or Perish automatically place authors in the listing of results?

No; this is too difficult with the current results from Google Scholar. Here is what the Publish or Perish developer had to say about this when he investigated the issue in March 2009:

Hi Anne-Wil,  I have looked into the weighted author contribution issues that you raised, and here are my findings.  (a) The actual calculations are simple enough and non a limiting factor.  (b) The problem lies with reliably identifying and tracking private authors in a set of results.  Allow me clarify indicate (b). In a typical set of Publish or Perish search results, the Authors field of each results detail contains a semi-formatted list of author names.  It is possible, upwards to a betoken, to split each author listing into its separate author names. We already do so for the purpose of the Individual h-index, and also to provide an overview of papers with i, ii, iii, etc. authors. For the Individual h-index this is sufficient, because each author receives the same weight (namely, 1/n if 'n' is the number of authors for that paper).  Nonetheless, reliably recognizing and tracking a given writer, as would be required for any scheme that assigns diff weights to authors based on their position in the authors list, is a different affair.  The Google Scholar data contains a lot of noise (usually through no error of Google, simply simply the result of sloppy or inconsistent referencing by humans) that makes this harder than information technology appears.  To give merely one example: an author search for "a harzing" [sic] results at the moment [March 2009] in 158 papers, most of which appear to exist (co-)authored by you. Looking at the results, your proper noun appears as:    A Harzing   AK Harzing   AW Harzing   AWK Harzing   AWIL Harzing  ...but in some of the results information technology doesn't appear at all. At present y'all and I may know that all these variations refer to the same person (you), just this cannot be universally assumed:  - For an author search, the search phrase "a harzing" might give a clue, but just if you are prepared to follow English naming conventions of one or more initials followed by a surname. For other cultural conventions, this might not be appropriate.  - What if the writer search phrase used several author names, like:      "a harzing" OR "c kulik"?  - For non-author searches, you don't fifty-fifty accept this starting point.  - For whatever searches, you might want to extract a list of all author names from the results, but and then the matching process beyond the results set up is even iffier -- peradventure not for semi-unique names such equally Harzing, but certainly for the Smiths and Browns of this earth.  - And and so at that place are completely garbled results, like this one from the aforementioned sample:    Authors: AW Harzing, R Wal   Championship: van der (2008). A Google Scholar h-index for journals...  This refers to the commodity you co-wrote with "R van der Wal", but no algorithm would exist able to notice this person in the Authors field.  Therefore, to get this to work, we would have to implement some sort of user interface that allows the user to indicate which authors should be combined. This in itself is not rocket science, but it will take more development work to make information technology usable to the average user than we take available at the moment.

Why does Publish or Perish e'er count years until the current twelvemonth, and not the indicated period?

Situation: You have just done a search (any search) with specific start and terminate years, for example from 2000 to 2005. Still, the results do not testify "vi years active" as you expected, simply "ten years agile" (if the search is done in 2009). What's going on?

Answer: The search period (2000 to 2005 in the example) restricts the original publications. It does not restrict the citations.

Regardless of the outset and end years in your query, the results will always prove the citations until the nowadays day, give or take a few weeks. And because Publish or Perish shows citation statistics, nosotros must count all years from the showtime yr until the nowadays 24-hour interval.

Before you lot ask: No, Publish or Perish does not have control over this aspect of the results; information technology's Google Scholar that provides these data.

What does the Rank column indicate?

"Rank" is simply the guild in which the data source returned the results, with higher-ranked (i.eastward., lower-numbered) items returned before lower-ranked (i.e., college-numbered) ones.

Depending on the data source, this usually means that the higher-ranked ones were a better friction match for the search terms, which is not the same thing as being more highly cited (in the "Cites" column). On the other manus, some other data sources do return more highly cited results first, so for those data sources the "Cites" and "Rank" orders more or less stand for.

Common errors

What does error 13 (was: 8228) mean?

This means that the Google Scholar response to your query contained a refusal to accept further requests from your IP address. This is usually caused past an excessive number of prior queries. Google Scholar will ordinarily lift the block after 24 hours.

In most cases, y'all can prevent this blazon of block by using Publish or Perish's adaptive request rate limiter. This limiter is enabled by default as of Publish or Perish release iv.0.12.

  • If you lot are using an older version of Publish or Perish (earlier 4.0.12) then we strongly recommend that you upgrade to the latest release.
  • If you are already using Publish or Perish 4.0.12 or later, then make certain that the adaptive rate limiter is enabled and uses the recommended settings.

If yous are unlucky, it could be that your estimator is located behind a web proxy that frontwards your queries and those of your colleagues to Google Scholar. In that example, all those queries announced to come up from a single system every bit far as Google Scholar is concerned, which may crusade it to block further queries from whatsoever of you. Contact your local system administrator if you doubtable that this might exist the case.

Tip: As of Publish or Perish four.0.15, you can enable Google CAPTCHA support in Publish or Perish by checking the Answer to verification requests option. When enabled, Publish or Perish will reply to Google's request for human identification and present the CAPTCHA image from Google. Y'all can then type in the words shown in the image and submit them to Google. If yous solved the CAPTCHA correctly, then Google will permit further access from your Publish or Perish session.

What does mistake 514 (No matching data found) mean?

This means that the response to your query independent no entries. Possible causes include:

  • A query that did not lucifer whatsoever papers. Try changing the query parameters.
    • Tip 1: The API of some data sources does non let the utilise of the words "and", "or", "not" or other mutual/stop words in a keyword or title search. Try omitting these words.
    • Tip two: If yous want to employ Boolean operators, you lot volition need to use capitals east.g. AND, OR, NOT. For further details on search syntax meet: General/keyword search
  • Your Internet connection does non work.

What does error 522 (Invalid information) mean?

This means that the data source's response to your query contained no recognizable information. Possible causes include:

  • The data source'southward output format has changed.
  • Your Cyberspace connection does not work.

While nosotros try to adjust as apace as possible to changes in output formats, there may exist a delay of a few days after a data source introduces a new format.

Furthermore, even afterwards nosotros release a new version of the software, y'all must update your own copy of Publish or Perish to receive the do good of the new software version. You can do so through the Publish or Perish web folio, or past using the Help > Check for Updates command from the Publish or Perish main menu.

Afterward updating the Publish or Perish software, retry the query using the Search Direct push (instead of Search). This retrieves fresh query data, which might resolve the trouble.

If nothing else helps, then delight society an error written report to Publish or Perish technical support as follows:

  1. Repeat the query that failed.
  2. Choose the Tools > Report Error control from the chief menu.

This generates an mistake study (a apparently text file) chosen PoPError.txt that you should attach to your e-mail to the Publish and Perish support address. We need the information in the error report for an authentic diagnosis.

What does mistake 1027 (Server error) mean?

Sometimes you see an mistake message similar the following*:

*The screen shot is from Publish or Perish 6.x. In Publish or Perish 7.ten the aforementioned error may occur, but with numeric lawmaking 1027 instead of 12152.

Google Scholar error 12152

The second function of the mistake message (We're sorry merely it appears that...) originates with Google Scholar. It is occasionally returned past Google Scholar, and always (to our knowledge) at the end of a long search -- like the results 980-1000 of a search.

There is aught that we can practise about this and, despite appearances, there doesn't seem to exist anything that Google does near it either, so you volition just have to live without the concluding 20 or so results of that search.

What does error 1028 (Invalid client request) hateful?

If you see an mistake 1028: Invalid client request then the data source establish some sort of syntax error in the query that Publish or Perish submitted. There is usually some additional data about the nature of the error displayed as well; if this doesn't brand the problem and its solution obvious, and then please submit an error study.

What does error 1150 hateful?

This error lawmaking appears when Google Scholar sends a CAPTCHA in response to a request and your system contains an out of date version of Net Explorer. Solving the CAPTCHA requires a recent version of Internet Explorer (IE8 on Windows XP and IE11 on all later on Windows versions). The Vino emulation of IE is insufficient for this and will also cause this error message.

You lot can practice one of the post-obit:

  • On a real Windows organisation, run Windows Update to install the latest version of Net Explorer (in fact, Popular will offering to start Windows Update for you); or
  • Use a different data source within Pop (nosotros support six different sources, most of which are free or require a gratis subscription primal); or
  • Wait three-iv hours earlier resuming your queries; or
  • Go on on a full Windows system if you are currently running on Wine. This tin too be a virtual machine; we use VirtualBox on Linux and macOS (both iMacs and MacBooks) with Windows vii inside.

What does fault 1544 (Authentication required) hateful?

This error lawmaking appears under the following circumstances:

  • The current data source requires an API fundamental or login business relationship, merely none is available; this applies to Microsoft Academic, Scopus, and WoS, and will be indicated in the error details.
  • Your Net connection requires hallmark, usually because of a proxy server.

In the case of a missing API key or missing login credentials, Publish or Perish will automatically brandish a dialog box that allows you to enter the required information or apply for an API key every bit advisable.

If proxy authentication is required, then you should either use your regular spider web browser to authenticate yourself to the proxy, or disable the utilize of a proxy for Publish or Perish.

On Windows, you tin alter the proxy settings every bit follows.

  1. Get-go Publish or Perish
  2. From the Publish or Perish main menu bar, choose View, and so cull Internet Options. This should bear witness the "Internet Properties" dialog box from Windows.
  3. In the "Cyberspace Backdrop" dialog box, click on the "Connections" tab, then click on the "LAN settings" button. This should open the "Local Surface area Network (LAN) Settings" dialog box every bit shown below.
    Windows proxy settings
  4. Make sure that the "Use a proxy server..." checkbox is clear. If it is already clear, and then also make sure that the "Automatically detect settings" box is clear besides. (In the attached screen shot, this box is checked -- but uncheck it if the problem persists.)
  5. Click OK to close the "Local Surface area Network (LAN) Settings" dialog box, so click OK again to close the "Internet Backdrop" dialog box.
  6. Retry the search with Publish or Perish.

Updating Publish or Perish fails with error code 740

This occurs when you lot endeavor to update the Publish or Perish software on Windows XP and after (including Vista and 7). The total error message is:

Error 740 while updating the software. The required functioning requires summit.

This is acquired by an old version of the update software; information technology is not related to the Publish or Perish software itself. To resolve it, exercise the following.

  1. Close whatever running instances of the Publish or Perish software.
  2. Download the latest version of the software from the Publish or Perish page. This will consequence in a file called PoPSetup.exe on your computer.
  3. Run the PoPSetup.exe programme that you just downloaded. This volition update the Publish or Perish software on your estimator to the latest version.

This process needs to be performed but one time; subsequently versions of the Publish or Perish updater no longer cause the mistake message.

Installation under Wine on Linux fails with "Call to unimplemented function"

This is a trouble in Vino.

The DLL (sxs.dll) and function (CreateAssemblyCache, or a related office) in question are non bachelor on all Windows platforms, and so our installer very carefully:

  1. Checks for the presence of sxs.dll, so
  2. Checks for the availability of CreateAssemblyCache, and just then
  3. Calls that part.

What Wine does wrong is to provide the DLL and the function, but and then bomb out when the role is chosen. What they should do instead is either not provide the function at all, or just return an mistake code when it's called.

Update: This problem was resolved in Wine release one.1.20 when sxs.CreateAssemblyCache() was modified to return an fault code (E_NOTIMPL) rather than causing a fatal error (fix courtesy of Kai Blin). If yous experience this issue, and then update your Wine installation to release 1.ane.20 or later; this should resolve the problem. You lot can then apply the normal Windows installer as documented on the Publish or Perish on GNU/Linux page.

Other software issues

What are all these information files doing in the %APPDATA%\Publish or Perish folder?

Publish or Perish stores your queries and their results in files and folders in your personal information folder on your computer. Some of these are essential, while others are merely useful. The precise location of the Publish or Perish data folder depends on the operating system:

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Publish or Perish
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Publish or Perish

You may discover the following folders and files in the PoP data area:

Enshroud binder
Contains the raw, cached replies from the various information sources. They tin be safely deleted (the Tools > Clear Cache command does that) only volition incur some cost when earlier queries are repeated and may cause Google Scholar (for instance) to throw more CAPTCHAs at you.
Results6 folder
Contains the parsed results, one .json file per query. Do not delete these, or you will lose your query results.
Results3, Results5 folders
If yous still have these just are now using Pop half dozen.x exclusively, then yous can delete those folders.
Temp folder
Files in this binder may be safely deleted once Popular has exited.
Trash folder
Contains backup copies of the previous query tree, plus the results of queries that accept since been deleted, just like the Windows Recycle Bin. The Trash contents are (safely) trimmed by the Tools > Articulate Garbage control. Yous tin can besides delete them manually, merely that will brand previously deleted results unrecoverable.

Farther data near Popular's backup government can exist establish nether "On-disk backup copies" in the Preferences: General dialog box.

Help! All my folders and queries take disappeared!

Pitiful to hear well-nigh this. Couple of points:

  1. You lot exercise not have to relieve or annal your data manually. Publish or Perish automatically saves whatsoever changes, usually within two seconds of the completion of your query.
  2. Just: the final data saving happens only when Publish or Perish is exited normally. This is when the terminal bookkeeping data is committed to disk.
  3. It is therefore highly recommended to exit/quit Publish or Perish normally before switching off your computer or putting it to sleep. This includes endmost the lid of a laptop computer.
  4. This also applies to virtual machines; just terminating the virtual automobile is the equivalent of yanking out the ability cable and can lead to data loss.

It depends on the operating organization (macOS or Windows) and version (10.13-x.15, or 7/8/x) how well applications are notified of the impending operating system shutdown/slumber/termination, and if Publish or Perish is in the middle of a background save, this may cause bug and lead to data loss.

To restore your queries, do this:

  1. Get out/Quit all running instances of Publish or Perish.
  2. Become to the Publish or Perish data binder on your computer.
    • Windows: use Windows Explorer to become to C:\Users\<yourname>\AppData\Roaming\Publish or Perish binder (or just blazon %APPDATA%\Publish or Perish in the Windows Explorer address bar and press Enter)
    • macOS: in Finder, employ the Get > Go to Folder... command to go to ~/Library/Application Support/Publish or Perish binder (commonly hidden in Finder)
  3. In that binder, in that location should exist a file called Queries6.qml. There may also be files chosen Queries6.cur.qml, Queries6.new.qml, and Queries6.erstwhile.qml.
  4. If there are several of these files, then select the largest (past file size) and rename that to Queries6.qml. You may take to rename the existing Queries6.qml --if any-- for that.
  5. If you lot can but observe a small (1-5 kB) Queries6.qml file, then go into the Trash subfolder to look for files called q6_xxxxxxxx.qml, where the 'xxxxxxxx' portion is some hexadecimal number.
  6. Select the largest file from these and copy it to the Publish or Perish base folder, then rename it to Queries6.qml (again, you may have to rename the existing Queries6.qml file).
  7. Finally, restart Publish or Perish. Your queries should be back.

And please call up to exit/quit Publish or Perish normally before switching off your computer or forcibly putting it to sleep. (If the computer is going to sleep due to several minutes of idle time, this is usually not a trouble because Publish or Perish volition accept finished any background saves past then, but information technology'due south still a good idea to exit Publish or Perish first.)
