By exploring SJR we have H-Index which is defined as "The h-index is defined as the maximum value of h such that the given author/journal has published at least h papers that have each been cited at least h times." as in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-index.
while the cite-score is defined as "CiteScore (CS) of an academic journal is a measure reflecting the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in that journal."
The two definitions show resemblance to some extent, but the values are very different.
What do you think?: Which is better to consider H-Index or Cite-score?
H-index is better I think. I am too interested on the definitions. Does this come up on scimago o altmetrics or bibliometrics? (Did I spelt it correctly?). About the cite score?
We are talking about two opposite faces of one coin, means both of them are very essential...
Mª Angeles Zorrilla Lopez-Perea The definitions are extracted from Wikipedia. However H-Index came from scimago, and cite-score from scopus sources.
Emad Kamil Hussein sometimes the two values are on the opposite direction. I think H-Index express long-term score, and cite-score refers to short-term score.
Really, each parameter is depending on its own database, so it is logically to find such differences...

I consider the quartile and indexing as the validity of a Journal.
Alireza Khoshkonesh The quartile is calculated from the cite-score, eventually it is changing every year.
Regarding the indexing: the cite-score and the H-index is calculated only for the indexed journals.
Thanks for bringing this up. I'm also interested in which researchers think is most important.
I think H index in better than the cite score and the cite score is better than impact factor and impact factor is better than the quartile and quartile better than the paper and the ... .
All depends on the research quality and researcher consciousness and awareness.
Perhaps it also depends on the scientific sector or geographical context. In mine I always hear about H-index. Much less the cite score
Christian Spreafico Previously Scopus used impact factor, now they are using cite-score. H-index is always there.
Together, both indicators can more fully determine the level of scientific output. IMPACT FACTOR is important for measuring the quality of the journal. H index is important to measure the scholars work.@
