Harzing Publish or Perish

Harzing Publish or Perish is a macOS application for retrieving and analyzing academic citations. It obtains citation records from a variety of data sources and presents metrics that can help users examine research impact.

• Calculates and displays metrics including paper counts, total citations, and the h-index.
• Shows analysis results on screen, with options to copy them to the macOS clipboard or save them in output formats for later use or further analysis.
• Includes a detailed help file with search guidance and information about citation metrics.
• Can support tasks such as literature reviews, bibliometric research, and preparing research-impact information.

Install the macOS package with brew install --cask publish-or-perish. After installation, open Publish or Perish and use its search and analysis workflow to retrieve citation records and review the resulting metrics. The software’s analyses use data obtained from its available sources; citation metrics depend on those records and should be interpreted in context.
