Weller (Eds.), Science and the internet (pp. H5 Index 16 (2021) Downloads 87,831 (2022) Advances in Data Analysis and Classification. Researchers consider a number of factors in deciding where to publish their research, such as journal. The h-index: What is it, how do we determine it, and how can we keep up with it? In A. Announcement of the latest impact factors from the Journal Citation Reports. The final two papers have no effect in this case as they have been cited less than six times (Ireland, MacDonald & Stirling, 2012).ġ Ireland, T., MacDonald, K., & Stirling, P.The third paper gives us a 3 and all the way up to 6 with the sixth highest paper.The second paper has been cited 30 times, and gives us a 2 (there are two papers that have been cited at least twice).The first paper has been cited 33 times, and gives us a 1 (there is one paper that has been cited at least once).An h-index of 6 means that this author has published at least 6 papers that have each received at least 6 citations.This tells us that the author's h-index is 6. The variable h is defined as the largest number of articles that have each been cited h times. In the below example, an author has 8 papers that have been cited 33, 30, 20, 15, 7, 6, 5 and 4 times. The h5-index is a product of Google Scholar and shows a journal’s h-Index based on the journal’s articles published in the last 5 calendar years (with an overall minimum of 100 articles published during these years). To manually calculate your h-index, organize articles in descending order, based on the number of times they have been cited.

Assessing fields, departments, and subjects where research output is typically books or conference proceedings as they are not well represented by databases providing h-indices.ġ Working Group on Bibliometrics. Google Scholar reports the 'h5-index' that is, the h-index calculated using the most recent five years of a journals publication history.Comparing researchers from different fields, disciplines, or subjects.Obtaining a focused snapshot of a researcher’s performance. The journal impact factor and h index are different in their fundamental design: The former is used to measure journal prestige, while the latter is used to measure researcher impact.Therefore, the two cannot be compared.
The h-index captures research output based on the total number of publications and the total number of citations to those works, providing a focused snapshot of an individual’s research performance.Įxample: If a researcher has 15 papers, each of which has at least 15 citations, their h-index is 15.
