What is the h-index?
Proposed by physicist Jorge E. Hirsch in 2005, the h-index measures both productivity and citation impact. An h-index of 10 means you have 10 papers that have each received at least 10 citations. It is widely used in academia to evaluate researchers for tenure, grants, and awards.
- Calculation: Sort papers by citations (descending). Find the largest h such that the h‑th paper has ≥ h citations.
- g-index: The largest g such that the top g papers together have at least g² citations. It gives more weight to highly cited papers.
- i10-index: Number of papers with at least 10 citations (used by Google Scholar).
h-index FAQ
Varies by field. In computer science, h-index of 10-12 is typical for a new PhD, 20-30 for an established researcher, 40+ for distinguished professors. Nobel laureates often have h-index > 100.
Use Google Scholar, Scopus, or Web of Science. Enter your publication list manually into this calculator, or import citation counts from those databases.
h-index measures consistent impact. A researcher with one paper cited 1000 times and nothing else has h-index=1. It prevents one viral paper from dominating the metric.
No. It only increases over time as papers accumulate citations. However, it can stagnate if older papers stop being cited and new papers aren't impactful.
It does not account for author order, self-citations, or field-specific citation norms. Use it alongside other metrics like g-index and field‑adjusted benchmarks.
