    This could be a great app, however there are a couple of things that need to be improved in order to fulfill the needs of the scientific community: A. All h factors seem to be wrong B. The search function is weaker than Google scholar, returns less results on the same topic C. An integration like isi-web of science offers, would be great. D. One does not find all papers of an author, which is very annoying. Otherwise its a great idea, both the app and the webpage. I would love to see it succeeded and kick scholars *** ;)
