Notes:1. The search results portrayed in this document were generated on Dec 15, 2013 and have been independently verified by a Librarian as well as 3 different researchers.2. These search results are reproducible using Scopus and by employing the exact same key words and search criteria as outlined at the top of this page. However, these results are subject to change following daily updates of the Scopus database.3. The total number of articles (or search outcome) generated during a Scopus search is dependent on the specific search term(s) or key word(s) used as the search criteria. The publication numbers used in this document accurately tallies the number of articles retrieved using the specific search query of “Male Infertility or Andrology”. It does not, however, represent the total number of publication by an individual author using other search terms. For example, when searching the Scopus database on Jan 3, 2014, the total number of publications for Agarwal, A. was 327 (using the search query of “Male Infertility or Andrology”) and 449 (using the search query of “Author Name and Affiliation”). 4. The results generated using Web of Science was quite similar to Scopus, by employing the same search techniques as used in this report.5. The content coverage in the Scopus database for abstracts go back to 1966 and for cited references go back to 1996.6. The h-index attempts to measure both the productivity and impact of the published work of a scientist or scholar. The index is based on the set of the scientist’s most cited papers and the number of citations that they have received in other (scientists’) publications.
