iCite allows users ti upload the PubMed IDs of articles of interest, optionally grouping them for comparison. It then displays the number of articles, articles per year, citations per year, and Relative Citation Ratio, a field-normalized metric that shows the citation impact of one or more articles relative to the average NIH-funded paper.
