How is the h index calculated?
The h index is calculated by first arranging a researcher's publications in descending order based on the number of times they have been cited. The h index is then determined as the highest number, h, such that h publications have each been cited at least h times. For example, if a researcher's top 10 publications have been cited 10, 8, 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, and 0 times, their h index would be 5, as they have 5 publications that have been cited at least 5 times. The h index is widely used as a measure of the impact and productivity of a researcher's work.
