ABSTRACT

The h-index is a measure of productivity and the impact of citations on a scientist's or scholar's published work. The index is based on a scientist's most frequently cited papers, the number of times those papers have been cited in other works and the distribution of citations that those works have received. The h-index is significant to both individual users and scientific research organizations, academic institutions, and chief journal editors. This overview details the basics of H-index along with an emphasis on its strengths and limitations.
