The H index, or Hirsch index, is a measure of a researcher’s impact in terms of citations. It’s the highest number of a researcher’s papers that has had at least the same number of citations.
A researcher's H index can be found in the databases Scopus and Web of Science, accessible via the Databases A-Z. Instructions on how to find an individual's H index (and an explanation of why it's likely to be different in each database) are on our H index webpage.
For further help, do contact your Academic Liaison Librarian.
