About Google Scholar Author Highlighter

Highlight papers on Google Scholar by authorship role: first, second, co-first, corresponding, or last author. Co-first and corresponding authorship are identified using supported markers in the displayed author list. 📊 View the h-index, i10-index, and citation counts for highlighted papers. 📅 Filter publications and metrics by year. 🎯 Hide papers that don’t match your selected authorship roles. ✨ Highlight the profile owner’s name. 📸 Copy or download a screenshot of your results. **NEW IN 2.4.0** Identify last-author roles in some papers with shortened author lists using public scholarly metadata. Highlights and metrics update as results are confirmed. Results are cached on your device, and papers with uncertain authorship remain unchanged.
