Automatically integrate your SCOPUS citations

For job applications and more generally for CVs and academic websites, one might want to include the number of citations of paper or an overall number of citations across all publications. While it is of course debatable whether you want or should show off the number of citations, you can at least try to keep the information updated.

In this repo, we have written a script where, in regular intervals, a Google script checks SCOPUS for the number of citations and saves / updates this information in a text file on Github. From there, you can download it to your machine (or include it elsewhere from Github).

What you need to get is:

Github API
SCOPUS API
Account for Google Script (which comes with a regular Google account)

Then just follow the instructions on the repo! And comment below in case of questions!
