Google Scholar Check

Bram's picture

Go to Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com, not the general Google page) and type in the author's name to see his or her publication history. At the bottom of each result we see how many times each article s/he is associated with is cited. Keep in mind that we are looking for expertise in the area of the claim.
