POTSDAM – Clarkson University's Egon Matijevic, the Victor K.
LaMer Professor of Colloid and Surface Science, and Evgeny Katz,
the Milton Kerker Chair in Colloid Science, are listed in the
H-index of living scientists. The H-index attempts to measure
both the scientific productivity and the apparent scientific
impact of a scientist. The index is based on the set of the
scientist's most cited papers and the number of citations that
they have received in other people's publications. At ranking
#218, Matijevic, with an H of 69, has published 69 papers (among
total 575 papers), which have each received at least 69
citations. At ranking #380, Katz, with an H of 60, has published
60 papers (among more than 300 papers), which have each received
at least 60 citations. It should be noted that this listed of
the most-cited chemists totals only 587 worldwide with the two
Clarkson's professors among them. The index was suggested by
physicist Jorge E. Hirsch as a tool for determining quality of
scientific publications of
