The h Index was developed by J.E. Hirsch. Hirsch

defines the h index as follows:

"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."

Example: An h Index for a group of selected documents

or selected author(s) with an h Index of 12 means that out

of the total number of documents selected to produce the

graph, 12 of the documents have been cited at least 12

times. Published documents with fewer citations than h,

in this case less then 12, are considered, but would not

count in the h Index.

For more information about the h index, see Hirsch, J.E.

"An index to quantify an individual’s scientific research

output."

Times Cited: the total number

of citations to all of the items

in the set of search results.

Average citations: a simple formula that calculates the

average number of citing articles for all items in a set. It

is the sum of the Times Cited count divided by the

number of results found. For example:

Sum of the Time Cited: 967

Results found: 55

the h-index is based on a list of publications ranked in

descending order by the Times Cited count.

The h-index is indicated by an horizontal line. The

number of items above this line, which is "h" have at

least "h" citations. For example, an h-index of 20 means

there are 20 items that have 20 citations or more. This

metric is useful because it discounts the

disproportionate weight of highly cited papers or papers

that have not yet been cited

Google Scholar Citations

provides a simple way for

authors to keep track of

citations to their articles.

Check who is citing you,

graph citations over time, and

compute several citation

metrics. Make your profile

public, so that it may appear

in Google Scholar results

when people search for you.

First, create a regular Google

account, or sign in to the one

you already have. We

recommend that you use a

personal account so that you

can keep your profile for as

long as you wish....
