29 Author Identifier & Citation Analysis

30 Citation Analysis of an Author Citation Analysis of an Author: e.g. Michael Bond

31 Citation Analysis of an Author

32 Citation Analysis of an Author To view the citation analysis of this author 97 publications; cited over 3,500 times by over 2,800 documents h-index (21) only counting articles published from 1995 onwards

33 Citation Analysis of an Author Authors are evaluated on the basis of their body of work, which has been cited by articles published from 1996 onwards in one of the 18,000 peer-reviewed journals in Scopus

34 The h-index can be calculated manually by viewing all the author’s documents in the Citation Tracker. Click on Sort documents and select Citations in descending. Then scroll down to where the rank of articles and the number of cited-by’s meet: that’s the h-index for that author including documents published from 1996 onwards.

35

36 Definition of h-index An author has index h if h of his papers have at least h citations each and the other papers have no more than h citations each. e.g. An author with an h-index of 20 means that each of 20 of his or her publications have been cited for 20 or more times. For example The h-index for Bond, Michael Harris (Considers Scopus articles published after 1996) = 21 (21 out of 82 documents have each been cited at least 21 times)

37 Properties of the h-index  Developed in 2005 by Jorge Hirsch, a condensed-matter physicist (University of California in San Diego) and peace activist.  Easy to determine.  Age of Author not taken into account.  Both junior and senior authors can have a high or low h-index.  Ignores the highly & poorly cited papers – ‘one-hit wonders’.  Dynamic, not a static number – can change as citations increase, real-time in Scopus.  Can be used to measure : Authors, Journals, Institutions, Departments, Faculties, Selection of Papers … etc.  Details of h-index at:  
