H-index (George Hirsch, 2005) Concept through its Graph

How to calculate the h-index? You can calculate the h-index through the following citation databases: Web of Science Google Scholar Scopus

G-index (Leo Egghe, 2006) Given a set of articles ranked in decreasing order of the number of citations that they received, the g-index is the unique largest number such that the top g articles received together at least g2 citations. g-index allows highly-cited papers to bolster low-cited papers

CiteScore CiteScore is a simple way of measuring the citation impact of sources. All types of documents (research articles, review articles, conference proceedings, editorials errata, letters, notes, and short surveys) are included in the CiteScore calculation. Although articles in press are included in Scopus they are not included in the calculation.

CiteScore

SJR (SCImago Journal Rank) SJR is weighted by the prestige of a journal , Subject field, quality, and reputation of the journal have a direct effect on the value of a citation. SJR emphasizes those sources that are used by prestigious titles. SJR allows the user to rank their own customized set of sources, regardless of their subject fields.

SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper) SNIP measures a source’s contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field. It helps you make a direct comparison of sources in different subject fields.

Journal Impact Factor Quartile The Journal Impact Factor quartile is the quotient of a journal’s rank in category (X) and the total number of journals in the category (Y), so that (X / Y) = Percentile Rank Z. Q1: 0.0 < Z ≤ 0.25 Q2: 0.25 < Z ≤ 0.5 Q3: 0.5 < Z ≤ 0.75 Q4: 0.75 < Z Note: InCites displays the best quartile for journals that appear in multiple Web of Science Research Areas. When a research area is specified, the quartile for that particular journal and research area is displayed. A title might have a different quartile within each different subject area it is included in. For example, Serial Title A might be categorized in "Oncology", with a CiteScore percentile of 84%, and "Cancer Research", with a CiteScore percentile of 73%. These percentiles equate to Quartile 1 and Quartile 2 respectively.

ESCI The Emerging Sources Citation Index is a citation index produced since 2015 by Thomson Reuters, and now by Clarivate Analytics. According to the publisher, the index includes "peer-reviewed publications of regional importance and in emerging scientific fields“ http://mjl.clarivate.com/cgi-bin/jrnlst/jlresults.cgi?PC=EX

ResearcherID ResearcherID is an identifying system for scientific authors. The system was introduced in January 2008 by Thomson Reuters. It allows you to create an online Profile for showcasing your publication history. Each member is assigned a unique identifier to enable researchers to manage their publication lists, track their times cited counts. It also provides a gateway for colleagues to quickly locate your published work and to identify you as a potential collaborator. In addition, your ResearcherID information integrates with the Web of Science and is ORCID compliant, allowing you to claim and showcase your publications from a single one account. http://www.researcherid.com/
