• h-index (Hirsch, 2005)

– The highest number (g) of papers that together received g2
or more citations

Web of Science
• Track citations to your publications
– Check who is citing your publications. Graph your
citations over time. Compute citation metrics.
• View publications by colleagues
– Keep up with their work. See their citation metrics.
• Appear in Google Scholar search results
– Create a public profile using ResearcherID that you
can link to from a profile page, online cv, email
signature or social media account.
This author has 41 articles which have been cited
at least 41 times each.
This author has 41 articles (which are indexed on
Web of Science) which have been cited at least 41
times each (on Web of Science)
Google Scholar
• Track citations to your publications
– Check who is citing your publications. Graph your
citations over time. Compute citation metrics.
• View publications by colleagues
– Keep up with their work. See their citation metrics.
• Appear in Google Scholar search results
– Create a public profile that can appear in Google
Scholar when someone searches for your name.
The same author has 46 articles which have been
cited at least 46 times each.
The same author has 46 articles (which are indexed on
Google Scholar) which have been cited at least 46
times each (on Google Scholar)
Issues
• Author identification
• Register on ResearcherID - eg Dr Dan Smith
• Citation cultures vary across disciplines and are
not comparable
• Publication cultures vary too
• Research careers have different stages
• Impact does not always = excellence
• Scholarly communication evolving is evolving
beyond just citations in peer-reviewed articles

  2. Explain more complex means of measuring citation than just counting numbers:both different ways of looking at consistency – obv penalises newer researchersThat is why citation report for journal in a specific year is good so you can compare like with likeBoth indexes and others calculable using Google Scholar data via ‘Publish or Perish’ software – free to download. Search for any name and select a subset of publications.
  3. CHANCE FOR INTERACTION – ASK SOMEONE TO WORK OUT WHAT THE H-INDEX OF THIS AUTHOR IS.Smith , J articles /citations : (a:3, b:6, c:6, d:2, e:13, f:3, g:0, h:1, i:3)H-index = 3 - Not 6 (only 3 articles authored have 6 citations (or more). 6 articles have 3 or more citations, so h-index = 3. If article a, which currently has 3 citations was cited once more (so having 4 citations) would then have an h-index of 4 (as articles a, b, c and e have 4 or more citations)G-index = 5 - 5 because top 5 cited articles have received (13+6+6+3+3 =) 31 citations, which is greater than 5 squared. - Not 6 because top cited 6 articles total only (13+6+6+3+3+3 =) 34. Would need to be at least 36 (6 squared) to give a g-index of 6)
