Authors' quality indexes

Citation indexes

Citation indexes collect information on the citations made in academic articles. This makes it possible to know the citations received by an author or by a specific work.

One of the measures of quality taken into account to evaluate the activity of researchers is the number of citations an article or paper receives.

For more information see: Citation indexes


H-index

Index formulated by J. Hirsch in 2005. It is a system for measuring the professional quality of scientists. It measures the publications of an individual researcher.

It is calculated by measuring the distribution of citations that a researcher's scientific work has received.

A scientist has an h-index if h of his or her papers receive at least h citations each.

Among the resources that provide the h-index we highlight:

  • Publons/ResearcherID
  • ScopusID
  • Web of Science
  • Google Scholar - Tutorial [SPA]
