  1. h-index

    The h-index is an author-level metric that measures both the productivity and citation impact of the publications, initially used for an individual scientist or scholar. The h-index correlates with success indicators such as winning the Nobel Prize, being accepted for research fellowships and holding positions at top universities. The index is based on the set of the scientist's most cited ...

  2. What is a good H-index?

    3. 9. >. 1. In this case, the researcher scored an H-index of 6, since he has 6 publications that have been cited at least 6 times. The remaining articles, or those that have not yet reached 6 citations, are left aside. A good H-index score depends not only on a prolific output but also on a large number of citations by other authors.

  3. What is a good h-index? [with examples]

    According to Hirsch, a person with 20 years of research experience with an h-index of 20 is considered good, 40 is great, and 60 is remarkable. But let's go into more detail and have a look at what a good h-index means in terms of your field of research and stage of career.

  4. Google Scholar Metrics Help

    The h-core of a publication is a set of top cited h articles from the publication. These are the articles that the h-index is based on. For example, the publication above has the h-core with three articles, those cited by 17, 9, and 6. The h-median of a publication is the median of the citation counts in its h-core. For example, the h-median of ...

  5. The h-Index: Understanding its predictors, significance, and criticism

    Calculation Method. The h-index is defined as the "highest number h, such that the individual has published h papers that have each been cited at least h times."[] For example, if an author has 10 papers and seven of those have been cited at least seven times each, then the h-index for that individual is 7.To make it more easy, we are presenting an example of how an author can calculate ...

  6. Web of Science: h-index information

    To calculate an h-index using the result set, perform the following steps: 1. From the Results page, sort the result list by Times Cited -- highest to lowest by using the "Sort by:" box on the right hand side of the screen. 2. Find the record with the same number of Times Cited as the number of the record in the list.

  7. Calculate Your Academic Footprint: Your H-Index

    The h-index captures research output based on the total number of publications and the total number of citations to those works, providing a focused snapshot of an individual's research performance. Example: If a researcher has 15 papers, each of which has at least 15 citations, their h-index is 15. Useful For.

    In order to check an author's h-index with Publish or Perish go to "Query > New Google Scholar Profile Query". Enter the scholar's name in the search box and click lookup. A window will open with potential matches. After selecting a scholar, the program will query Google Scholar for citation data and populate a list of papers, and present ...

  9. The ultimate how-to-guide on the h-index

    Step 1: List all your published articles in a table. Step 2: For each article gather the number of how often it has been cited. Step 3: Rank the papers by the number of times they have been cited. Step 4: The h-index can now be inferred by finding the entry at which the rank in the list is greater than the number of citations. Here is an ...

  10. H-Index

    The h-index is a measure of publishing impact, where an author's h-index is represented by the number of papers (h) with a citation number ≥ h. For example, a scientist with an h-index of 14 has published numerous papers, 14 of which have been cited at least 14 times. Image: Screenshot of some metrics listed in an author profile in Michigan ...

  11. Library Guides: Calculate your h-index: Using the h-index

    h-index = the number of publications with a citation number greater than or equal to h. For example, 15 publications cited 15 times or more, is a h-index of 15. Read more about the h-index, first proposed by J.E. Hirsch, as An index to quantify an individual's scientific research output .

  12. Measuring your research impact: H-Index

    The Web of Science uses the H-Index to quantify research output by measuring author productivity and impact. H-Index = number of papers ( h) with a citation number ≥ h. Example: a scientist with an H-Index of 37 has 37 papers cited at least 37 times. Advantages of the H-Index: Measures quantity and impact by a single value.

  13. What is an h-index? How do I find the h-index for a particular author

    For instance, an h-index of 17 means that the scientist has published at least 17 papers that have each been cited at least 17 times. If the scientist's 18th most cited publication was cited only 10 times, the h-index would remain at 17. If the scientist's 18th most cited publication was cited 18 or more times, the h-index would rise to 18.

  14. LibGuides: Research Impact: How to find an h-index

    Find H-Index using Web of Science. Go to Web of Science and search for the author by selecting Author from the drop down list. For best results, add relevant institutional affiliations by clicking "Add Row," then select "Affiliation" from the drop down list. Start to type in the institution, and select from the list of suggestions.

  15. h-Index

    For example, a scholar with an h-index of 5 had published 5 papers, each of which has been cited by others at least 5 times. See instructions on this page for finding the h-Index using Web of Science, and Publish or Perish, which is downloadable from Harzing.com. Note that an individual's h-index may be very different in different databases.

  16. Do researchers know what the h-index is? And how do they ...

    The m-index is the quotient of the researcher's h-index and her or his research age: mp = hp / tp (Hirsch 2005, p. 16,571). An m -value of 2 would mean, for example, that a researcher has reached an h-value of 20 after 10 research years. Meanwhile, the h-index is strongly wired in our scientific system.

  17. h-index

    The h-index is a simple way to measure the impact of your work and other people's research. It does this by looking at the number of highly impactful publications a researcher has published. The higher the number of cited publications, the higher the h-index, regardless of which journal the work was published in.

  18. LibGuides: Research metrics: Find Researcher Metrics (H-index)

    J. E. Hirsch, a physicist at the University of California, proposed the h-index to quantify individuals' scientific research output in a 2005 PNAS paper. The h-index measures both productivity and citation impact. To calculate your h-index, list your papers based on the number of their citations, from most to least.

  19. Finding an Author's H-Index

    An h-index of 20 signifies that a scientist has published 20 articles each of which has been cited at least 20 times. Sometimes the h=index is, arguably, misleading. For example, if a scholar's works have received, say, 10,000 citations he may still have a h-index of only 12 as only 12 of his papers have been cited at least 12 times.

    The h- index evaluates the cumulative scholarly impact of an author's performance. It measures the quantitative (productivity) and qualitative (citations) research work of a researcher as a single number meaning that neither few papers which are highly cited nor too many papers with very few citations will produce a high h -index.
