To claim your Google Scholar Profile (the Law Library cannot do this on your behalf), log on to Google Scholar and click the “My Profile” link at the top of the page to get your account setup started.
On the first screen, add your affiliation information and UA email address, so Google Scholar can confirm your account. Add keywords that are relevant to your research interests, so others can find you when browsing a subject area. Provide a link to your UA faculty directory page (Select your profile and link to that web address).
If there are others who share your name, their articles may show up as yours. Add those articles even though they’re not yours. You will then have a chance to delete them in the next step.
Click “Next,” and a basic profile will be created. Google will guide you through the next steps.
Google Scholar Profiles provide a simple way for authors to showcase their academic publications. You can check who is citing your articles, graph citations over time, and compute several citation metrics. You can also make your profile public, so that it may appear in Google Scholar results when people search for your name, e.g., Andy Coan.
Best of all, it's quick to set up and simple to maintain - even if you have written hundreds of articles, and even if your name is shared by several different scholars. You can add groups of related articles, not just one article at a time; and your citation metrics are computed and updated automatically as Google Scholar finds new citations to your work on the web. You can choose to have your list of articles updated automatically or review the updates yourself, or to manually update your articles at any time.
