Pricing examples by researcher profile
Continuous $0.01 per citation, with a $0.99 floor and $9.90 cap. Here’s what that works out to for typical Citation Map users.
Early-career researcher · ~100 citations
Grad students, postdocs, first-faculty hires. Covered by the free tier — interactive map, no payment.
Free5 crawls / 24h on the free tierEB-1A petitioner · ~200 citations
Mid-career engineer or scientist filing for a US visa. $0.01 × 200 = $2.00 for the full crawl + USCIS-ready PNG & CSV export.
$2.00one-time, lifetime accessEstablished researcher · ~5,000 citations
Tenured faculty, lab director. $0.01 × 5,000 = $50, but the cap kicks in at $9.90 — you save the difference.
$9.90capped — you don’t pay the formula price of $50.00Field leader · 850,000 citations
Geoffrey-Hinton-class scholars. The formula would say $8,500, but the cap protects you — even Nobel laureates pay the same $9.90.(You’re probably not Geoffrey Hinton — but if you are, hi!)
$9.90capped — you save $8,490.10 vs the per-citation formula

Frequently asked
How is the price determined?
By the scholar's total Google Scholar citation count. We look it up once when you click Unlock, then pick the matching tier. You always see the exact price before paying — no surprises.
What's included in the free preview?
The interactive world map showing the first wave of citing institutions (top 5 papers × 10 citing authors), top citing countries and institutions, and the 10-year citation trend. Enough for a quick look; not enough for a visa petition.
Why pay per scholar instead of a subscription?
Most researchers only need their own map once — for a visa, a tenure file, or a grant application. A one-time purchase is cheaper and simpler than a monthly bill you'll forget to cancel.
Do I get the raw data?
Yes. Every paid tier includes a CSV of every citing institution with country, latitude/longitude, and per-paper counts. Attorneys attach it as an appendix; researchers import it into R/Python for further analysis.
Where does the data come from?
Public Google Scholar records. We resolve each citing author's affiliation, then geocode the institution. The map reflects the public citation record of each paper — no private data, no scraping behind logins.
Refunds?
If the crawl fails or the scholar profile turns out to be inaccessible, we refund within 24 hours. Email wangcheng.an@anureka.com.
Common questions, answered straight.
Why does it cost per citation instead of a flat rate?
Two reasons. First, fairness: a grad student with 100 citations should not pay the same as a Nobel laureate with half a million. Second, cost-tracking: every citation we crawl from Google Scholar costs us Scrapingdog calls and self-hosted Qwen inference. Pricing per citation lets us cover the worst case (Hinton-class scholars) without overcharging the long tail. We then cap the price at $9.90 so even field leaders aren’t priced out.
What if my profile has too many citations?
It can’t. The price is hard-capped at $9.90 regardless of citation count — Hinton, Bengio, and Doudna all pay the same as someone with 5,000 citations. We absorb the extra crawl cost. The only thing that scales with citation count is how thoroughly we crawl your profile (more papers, deeper per-paper citation pulls).
Can I get a refund if the data is wrong?
Yes. Citation Map runs on Google Scholar data, and Google Scholar isn’t perfect — author disambiguation glitches, missing papers, etc. If your map has materially wrong data we can’t fix on a re-crawl, email us at tom@anureka.com within 30 days for a full refund. No forms, no hoops.
Is my Google Scholar profile data shared?
No. We only fetch data that’s already public on Google Scholar — the same data anyone with a browser could see. We cache the citation graph in our database to make future loads instant for you (and for anyone else generating a map for the same scholar), but we never sell or share user-level data with third parties. See our privacy policy.
Do you offer institutional pricing?
Yes — for university libraries, immigration law firms, and research institutions that want bulk access (e.g. mapping every faculty member in a department), email tom@anureka.com with your use case. We typically structure these as flat annual contracts, with a discount versus the per-scholar rate.
