On the meaning of the h-index

نویسنده

چکیده

The h-index—defined as the value such that an individual has published at least h papers with at least h citations—has become a popular metric for assessing the citation impact of scientists. As already noted in the original work of Hirsch and as evidenced from data for a representative sample of 255 physicists, √ c scales as h, where c is the total number of citations for an individual. Thus √ c appears to be equivalent to the h-index. As a further check of this equivalence, the distribution of the ratio s ≡ √c/2h for this sample is sharply peaked about 1. The outliers in this distribution reveal fundamentally different kinds of individual publication records.
