What is the h-Index?

• Performance measurement tool for scientific authors (similar idea to journal impact factors but for individuals)

• Established by Jorge Hirsch at UC San Diego

“A scientist has index h if h of his/her Np papers have

at least h citations each, and the other (Np- h) papers

have no more than h citations each.”

Source: Hirsch, J. E. (2005, September 29). An index to quantify an individual’s scientific research output. Retrieved from http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0508025

The h-index

A scientist has index h if h of his or her Np papers have at least h citations each and the other ( Np – h ) have at least ≤ h citations each

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
