The h-index is applied to researchers, and is calculated by finding the total number of publications with the corresponding number of citations (n publications with n citations). It can indicate both productivity and impact at an individual level. It is not a reliable indicator for early-career researchers.
Where to find it
How it's calculated
The h-index = the number of publications with a citation number greater than or equal to h. For example, if someone had 20 publications, with 8 publications having more than 8 citations, their h-index would be 8.
You may get a different results using different data, such as Google Scholar versus Web of Science. This is because these sources index different pools of materials.
