Google scholar presents citation indices as total citation, H-index and i10 indices. Which one is considered most important in the field of academics.Will any body explain how H-index and i10 index are calculated.
Dear Dr. Hom Nath Chalise , it is an interesting issue and I am voting for H-index. Here are some facts about H-index.
- H-index is the most commonly applied tool to evaluate scientific productivity (Diaz et al. 2016).
- The h index bibliometric indicator for evaluating scientists and scientific institutions plays an increasingly important role in evaluating contemporary scientific research, including chemistry (Ciriminna et al. 2013).
- H-index has had a deep impact on the quantification of the productivity of researchers ( Marc André Meyers and Haocheng Quan, 2017 ).
- The h-index, or Hirsch index, measures the impact of a particular scientist rather than a journal ( Michael Schreiber, 2008).
I see the h-index in the peer reviewed literature more often than i-10 or total citation counts. David Hodge of Arizona State has some decent research in this area.
Thank you Prof Peter A Kindle & Professor Nirmala for your answer/comments. Will you please clarify how H-index is calculated.
Hi,
The metric that relies on Google Scholar's data is not a reliable source for academic quality since it considers many data types that are not always academic.The H-Index and the 5 years citation windows of the World of Science are more reliable for judging academic quality.
Good day friends,
Thank you so much for your active participation, its really great to hear your views in this question.

@ Dr Beemnet Mengesha Kassahun,
Thank you so much for the comprehensive answer.
Thank you very much dear Dr. Hom Nath Chalise for your positive recognition.
h-index is based on the set of the researchers most cited papers and the number of citations that they have received in other publications. i-10-index is the number of publications with at least 10 citations.
h-index measures the impact of a particular researcher rather than a journal, so h-index is better.

@ Mahesh Kumar,
Thank you so much for your clear and precise response.
Thank you so much for sharing the wonderful information Dr Mahesh Kumar Emad Kamil Hussein K. M. Singh K. M. Singh Paul Olusegun Bankole
@Dr Emad Kamil Hussein,
I like so much your presentations they are so useful for me.
Many thanks for you and for the researcher questions.
Thank you so much Dr Maya Hassan Dr Borden Mushonga Dr Samra Harkat for sharing your views.
I think all the indices including total citations, H-index and i-10 have their own value and cumulatively reflect Researcher's standing.
