h-index in Scopus

• Developed in 2005 by Jorge Hirsch, a condensed-matter

physicist and peace activist from University of California in

San Diego

• The h-Index combines quantity and quality, productivity and influence

“The h-index is the highest number of papers a scientist

has that have at least that number of citations.”

Nature (2005)

• Ignores the highly & poorly cited papers

• Dynamic, not a static number – can change as citations increase, real-

time in Scopus

43

Hirsch Index (h-Index)

A scientist has index 14 if 14 of his 35 papers after 1995 have at
