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

Asked 20 March 2020

The h-index is a number intended to represent both the productivity and the impact of a particular scientist or scholar, or a group of scientists or scholars (such as a departmental or research group).

The h-index is calculated by counting the number of publications for which an author has been cited by other authors at least that same number of times. 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.

Part of the purpose of the h-index is to eliminate outlier publications that might give a skewed picture of a scientist's impact. For instance, if a scientist published one paper many years ago that was cited 9,374 times but has since only published papers that have been cited 2 or 3 times each, a straight citation count for that scientist could make it seem that his or her long-term career work was very significant. The h-index, however, would be much lower, signifying that the scientist's overall body of work was not necessarily as significant.

The following resources will calculate an h-index:

Keep in mind that different databases will give different values for the h-index. This is because each database must calculate the value based on the citations it contains. Since databases cover different publications in different ranges of years, the h-index result will therefore vary. You should also keep in mind that what is considered a "good" h-index may differ depending on the scientific discipline. A number that is considered low in one field might be considered quite high in another field.

I checked a wrong advertisements in addressing to papers citing works of the recipient, i.e. addressing to a citation of a paper of mine. There isn't?

Asked 28 March 2020

Roberto Eggenoffner

as many other times, I have received in my email another advertisement addressing to a citation of a paper of mine. I enter the paper and I check that there is no citation to any works I published and my name doesn't appear in the reference list.

It is a very waist of time! Please correct such wrong detection!

Anyway your site in undoubtedly quite useful, thanks!!!!!

Retrieval of citations

Asked 28 April 2020

Jean Mondo Mubalama

When I do a quick search on google, I find that some published works have referred to my papers and had properly citated them.

However, neither google scholar nor RG record them.

Is there any way of retrieving these citations and make them recognisable by these databases?

Lets talk about some bad practices in Research...

Asked 22 September 2019

Wileidys Artigas

In the last ten years, the run for having more papers published and have more citations make the researchers do some things that are not ethic, some of this things are:

a) To pay for the preparation of articles or inclusion in finished articles;

b) Publication in various areas of knowledge seeking quantity against quality (when you see the speciality of the researcher its almost every topic);

c) Misuse of information collected or generation of information to publish.

What do you think about it? What else have you seen just for have more citations?

Thanks for your comments!

What is the embargo period of an article published in a subscription basis in a springer journal?

Asked 24 March 2023

B.M. Munasinghe

Two of my case reports have been 'CITED' in 'Reactions' (a springer journal) under certain drug effects. They are published under subscription basis so the citations are not counted in RG or Google scholar. What is the average embargo period of such articles and if these are never made free to access, will the citations never counted?

Your experience on the matter are much welcome!!!

Some articles in high impact factor journals are not citing base research published in low/no impact factor journals. What is your opinion?

Asked 27 July 2019

Sandip A Kale

Many new research concepts are published in the low or no impact factor journals because of insufficient research results. Other researchers are extending this work and publishing the results in high impact factor journal. But, unfortunately they are not citing the research work published in low impact factor journals, though it is base of extended research idea. Additionally, if they cite the base research paper, reviewers/ editors or journal are not allowing to cite base research paper. Please share your opinion.
