my aim is to identify how many times each publication got cited on google

You can use the urllib builtin module and beautiful soup for parsing HTML. I
don't know if the Googlescholars page allows python connections, I know
regular google queries do not (they frown on web scraping, AFAIK)

Thats what I was about to say too.
But Google do have a Web Service API that might work on Scholar
too, that would be worth investigating...

per this page:

http://code.google.com/apis/soapsearch/reference.html

"""
As of December 5, 2006, we are no longer issuing new API keys for the SOAP Search API. Developers with existing SOAP Search API keys will not be affected.
