What is impact factor of a journal?An indicator reflecting the research impact of a
particular journal based on the average number of citations to articles published in this journal in the last two years
Is calculated annually, last edition in 2012Devised by Eugene Garfield, the founder of
the Institute for Scientific Information, in 1960Varies across disciplinesExample for Nature Methods:

What is h-index?Measures the productivity and impact of a scientist
(sometimes, a group of scientists, a department, a university)
Devised by Jorge Hirsch, a physicist at UCSD, in 2005
Based on the number of published papers and the number of citations that they have received
H-index of 3 means that at least 3 of the scientist’s papers have been cited at least 3 times each
Varies across disciplines

most importantly impact factors; updated annuallyWeb of Science
A bibliographic and bibliometric database that indexes over 12,000 journals and 148,000 conference proceedings
