I will give you some examples that may help you to calculate the H index

Ex1) an author has 5 papers with the following citations:

p1      4

p2      4

p3      3

p4     1

p5     0

H index is 3

note: H index will increase to 4 if no of citations for p4 increases to 4 

Ex2) an author has 3 papers with the following citations:

p1      20

p2      18

p3      2

H index is 2

note: H index will increase to 3 if no of citations for p3 increases to 3. 

Ex3) an author has 3 papers with the following citations:

p1      20

p2      18

p3      3

H index is 3

note: H index will increase to 4 if the author publishes p4 with 4 citations.

Ex4) an author has 7 papers with the following citations:

p1      20

p2      18

p3       2

p4       2

p5       1

p6       1

p7       1

H index is 2

note: H index will increase to 3 if no of citations for p3 increase to 3

Ex5) an author has 7 papers with the following citations:

p1      20

p2      18

p3       3

p4       2

p5       1

p6       1

p7       1

H index is 3

note: H index will increase to 4 if no of citations for p4 increases to 4 

H index will increase to 5 if no of citations for p5 increases to 5 

H index will increase to 6 if no of citations for p6 increases to 6 

Ex6) an author has 7 papers with the following citations:

p1      20

p2      18

p3       4

p4       3

p5       3

p6       2

p7       1

H index is 3

if p4 increases 1 citation (3+1=4), H index becomes 4

Ex7) an author has 8 papers with the following citations:

p1      200

p2      2

p3       2 

p4       1

p5       1

p6       1

p7       1

p8       0

H index is 2

if p2 increases 1 citation (2+1=3), H index will stay 2

but if p2 becomes 3 citations and p3 becomes 3 citaions===> Hindex becomes 3

Ex8) an author has 8 papers with the following citations:

p1      10

p2      8

p3       8

p4       7

p5       7

p6       6

p7       2

p8        1

H index is 6

note: H index will increase to 7 if no of citations for p7 increase 5 (2+5=7)

note: H index will increase to 8 if no of citations for p8 increase 7 (1+7=8)

Ex9) an author has 8 papers with the following citations:

p1      1000

p2      900

p3       800

p4       700

p5       400

p6       400

p7       2

p8       1

H index is 6

note: H index will increase to 7 if no of citations for p7 increase 5 citation to becomes (2+5=7)

note: H index will increase to 8 if no of citations for p8 increase 7 citations to become (1+7=8)

while i10-index is much easier, just count how many publications has more than 10 citations

Dear Dr Harry

h index corresponds to a scientist's h of his/her N papers that have been cited at least h times each, while the rest of the N papers have less than h citations each.

i10 index refers to the number of paper with 10 or more citations.

For the citations received and given a number of papers ranked in a decreasing order according to the citations received till now, the G-index is the biggest number such that the top G articles received (altogether) at least G2 (G square) citations. This index assists the h-index and gives more weight to the highly-cited papers.

thanks for this

Well , not too knowledgable :)

Thank you for your response Gupta

Khaoula, thank you

Aparna, I appreciate your response.

This is pure knowledge shared. Thank you Musleh

I appreciate the links shared Prof. Emad. They are very useful.

I am personally grateful for your insightful contribution Andola.

h - Index: The h-index is an author-level metric that attempts to measure both the productivity and citation impact of the publications of a scientist or scholar

i10-Index = the number of publications with at least 10 citations

he g-index is an index for quantifying productivity in science, based on publication record

I am grateful for the wonderful contribution added, Chaman

Interesting question, I support the answer of Dr. Mohammed H. Musleh

Interesting discussion

Very enlightening

Following

Good question. It is really interesting information about H-index.

Useful question and answers as well

Thank you for your response Salam

I have learnt a lot from your contribution Luay

Thank you Mohammed

Dhiaa, it is good you are following. Researchers are providing very detailed information

Informative answers and an excellent question thank you all.

Rai, indeed there are very interesting discussion

Good question lot of Thanks

I agree with you Haitham; very informative discussions

Thank you Akinyemi

Thank you Harish

very interesting question and clear answers thanks all of you

Let me make a blasphemous remark.

Those indexes have transformed universities into third-rate tourist companies. My young colleagues constantly run from a conference to conference; they all quote each other, and they have impressive indexes. In my humble opinion, they know rather little, and they neglect teaching. I wrote several textbooks (years ago) which they still use in their courses; they do not write textbooks. But they all have much higher indexes than I have. This means nothing to me (I will retire soon). But it is ironical for me, because when I graduated, I started to work in the best tourist company in my country (Croatia). However, I decided to abandon nice life in tourism, and I went "into science". I am now ending my career at the department which has become a third-rate tourist company.

Thank you Ossam

Thank you Mario for your insightful and intriguing contribution. I really appreciate it.

Thank you Siddig

Useful question for us. Welcome....

Food for thought there by Mario Radovan

Thank you Kandhasamy

I agree with you Akinyemi

I-10 index is the number of articles with up to 10 citations

Wow! this is a wonderful link Nada

Your explanation is quiet simple Kaisan. Thank you.

To depend completely on metrics for funding or promotions is not a good idea. What a happens if a scientist is setting up a lab or guiding the phd students ? So is not attending the conferences frequently or publishing profusely....

So these numbers should be considered with a pinch of salt....

I Also agree with dr. Nishtha Anil Kumar
