Lots of people are publishing research papers, but what is the impact of h index?
h-index is the largest number h such that h publications have at least h citations. From Google
Thank you,,,, sir,,,
i think h index is all about your citations......
Its about citation. It is a measure both the productivity and impact of the published work of a scientist or scholar.
h-index is calculated based on the citations received by your publications. If 5 of your papers are cited by at least 5 times by others, your h-index will be 5. Nowadays, the h-index plays a vital role to judge the impact of a researcher's contribution. More over, it plays a pivotal role in promotions, award of projects, etc.
I just like to add that to have a good 'h'-index one needs both -number of publications as well as number of citations. If you really want to have h-index 100 than you must have at least 100 number of publications ! The problem of the h-index is- it does not consider high number of citations in one individual paper. Example: two authors who are having same h-index but one author might have at least one publication which might have cited more 1000 times whereas such is not for another author with same h-index !
DAS SIR ,,THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ENLIGHTENING THE OTHER ASPECT OF H INDEX...AND SIR ,,,WHAT ABOUT I INDEX ......
Hi; see the example
rank of publication: 1 2 3 4 5
number of citation: 5 4 3 2 1
H index = 3.
if you published 3 paper, every paper must be cited 3 times then the h factor = 3
