How does h-index in RG works?
How are citation updation and h-index linked in RG?
Dear Dr. Waqas Mahmood,
In RG, the h-index is an author-level metric that measures your research output and its citation impact. It is based on a set of your most cited work and the number of citations it’s received.
How is the h-index calculated on ResearchGate?
The h-index is calculated based on two bits of information: the total number of papers published (Np) and the number of citations (Nc) for each paper. It is defined by how many h of a researcher’s publications (Np) have at least h citations each.This means that if you have one publication with at least one citation, your h-index is 1, if you have two publications with at least two citations each, your h-index would be 2, and so on.
On ResearchGate, you'll see two separate h-indices displayed for each author. The first metric is an h-index that includes self-citations. The second h-index displayed excludes self-citations so that anyone looking at the numbers can compare them and quickly gauge whether other authors are paying attention to a researcher's work.
Please note: The h-index takes into account only citations of your work from scientific literature, reflecting impact in the scientific community. Furthermore, it is calculated based on the publications in your profile. You can help us make sure your h-index accurately represents your impact by adding all of your work to your profile.
How do I improve my h-index?
You can make sure that you have the highest possible h-index for your research by making sure that you add all of your work on ResearchGate. It is especially important to make sure that all of your publications that have been cited are on your profile to help improve your h-index. However, adding other work that hasn't yet been cited or has only been cited infrequently is a great way to create exposure for it, leading to more citations.

Best regards
h-index in RG works on the basis of citations of the research/papers on RG itself.

According to the opinions and suggestions that is the index "h", how it is obtained and how that score increases.
The RG h-index is calculated based on an author's number of uploaded publications and their citations.
