My profile on ResearchGate links to publications and coauthors, and my Google Scholar and ISI/ResearcherID profiles list traditional citation metrics (though the limits of these metrics have inspired the altmetrics movement to broaden the assessment of research impact beyond only citation in other peer-reviewed articles).
