The h-index, created by Jorge E. Hirsch in 2005, is an attempt to measure the research impact of a scholar. In his 2005 article Hirsch put forward an easily computable index, h, which gives an estimate of the importance, significance, and broad impact of a scientist's cumulative research contributions..
The larger the number of important papers, the higher the h-index, regardless of where the work was published. To calculate it, only two pieces of information are required: the total number of papers published (Np) and the number of citations (Nc) for each paper. The h-index is defined by how many h of a researcherâs publications (Np) have at least h citations each (see Figure 1).
