Book: Publish or Perish

I was sent the following email about the software "Publish or Perish" by the developer after my original posting about the software. Apparently the program has an accompanying book which guides you through the process of using citations as a way to get tenure, promotions, or job offers. I have not read this yet and so far do not endorse it but I thought it might be useful to some readers.

There is also an accompanying book. The first 12 pages are available here:

Dear colleague,
Your recent blog links to Publish or Perish, a free software program that I developed. It retrieves and analyzes academic citations. Therefore, I thought you might be interested in the book that I have written to accompany the software.

The Publish or Perish Book: Your Guide to Effective and Responsible Citation Analysis.

The book contains sixteen chapters (250 pages, 90,000 words) providing readers with a wealth of information relating to citation analysis. It is targeted at individual academics making their case for tenure or promotion, librarians and bibliometric researchers, deans and other academic administrators and anyone wanting to know more about citation analysis, Google Scholar and the Web of Science.

The book is available both as an electronic version and as a paperback version. For more information on the book's content and how to order it, see:

If you would like to order the paperback version, you can also go directly to the Amazon product page:

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any remaining questions.

Best wishes,
