In summary, the individual is interested in researching more as a sophomore/junior and wants to know the most frequently cited books in their field. They mention the option of looking up citation numbers or browsing the advanced section of the library or Amazon, but suggest it would be helpful to have all the information in one place. They then ask if anyone has seen a way to pull data from Google Scholar and display the number of citations next to book titles on Amazon, but note that Amazon may not link the two. They suggest contacting Amazon to suggest this feature.

As a sophomore / junior, I'm thinking about research more and more. I'd like to know what books in my field are the most frequently cited so I can know what average professional does.

Sure, you can look up the number of citations that any particular book has, or browse the advanced section at the library or on Amazon. But having all that information at once would be great.

Maybe one could pull data from Google Scholar and show the number of citations next to the book title on Amazon?

Has anyone seen something like that?

Amazon has its own Best Seller rankings, which makes it unlikely that they will link the two. But you should contact amazon and suggest it.
