h-index: The h-index is an index to quantify an individual’s scientific research output (J.E. Hirsch).
- There are several databases (Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar) that will provide an h-index for an individual based on publications indexed in the tools.
Below are instructions for obtaining your h-index from Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar.
Web of Science
Web of Science provides citation counts for articles indexed within it. It indexes over 12,000 journals in the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences. To find an author's h-index in WOS:
- Enter the name of the author in the top search box (e.g. Smith JT). Select Author from the drop-down menu on the right.
- To ensure accuracy for popular names, add an additional search box and enter "Univ Illinois" and then select “Address” from the field drop down menu on the right.
- Click on Search
- Click on Citation Report on the right hand corner of the results page. The H-index is on the right of the screen.
Scopus Scopus provide citation counts for articles indexed within it (limited to article written in 1996 and after). It indexes over 22,000 journals from over 4,000 international publishers across the disciplines. To find an author's h-index in Scopus:
- Once in Scopus, click on the Author search tab.
- Enter the name of the author in the search box. If you are using initials for the first and/or middle name, be sure to enter periods after the initials (e.g. Smith J.T.).
- To ensure accuracy if it is a popular name, you may enter University of Illinois in the affiliation field.
- Click search.
- If more than one profile appears, click on your profile (or the profile of the person you are examining). Under the Research section, you will see the h-index listed.
- If you have worked at more than one place, your name may appear twice with 2 separate h-index ratings. Select the check box next to each relevent profile, and click show documents.
Google Scholar
- Google Scholar Citations
- Using your google (gmail) account, create a profile of all your articles captured in Google Scholar. Follow the prompt on the screen to set up your profile. Once complete, this will show all the times the articles have been cited by other documents in Google Scholar and your h-index will be provided. Its your choice whether you make your profile public or private but if you make it public, you can link to it from your own webpages.
Impact Factor: The impact factor is a measure of the frequency in which the average article in a journal is cited in a particular year. Impact factors measure the impact of a journal, not the impact of individual articles.It is used to measure the importance or rank of a journal by calculating the times it's articles are cited.
How Impact Factor is Calculated?
The calculation is based on a two-year period and involves dividing the number of times articles were cited by the number of articles that are citable.
Calculation of 2017 IF of a journal:
A = the number of times articles published in 2015 and 2016 were cited by indexed journals during 2017. B = the total number of "citable items" published in 2015 and 2016.
Therefore;
A/B = 2017 impact factor
