The Hirsch index

‘The H-index is the highest number of papers a scientisthas that have at least that number of citations.’

Nature (2005)• The Hirsch or h-index is rapidly becoming viewed as an alternative

measure to the impact factor for performance evaluation.• Published by Jorge E. Hirsch in August 2005• Popular with academic community• Can be calculated easily using the Citation Tracker and the search result

page searching options.

SJR and SNIP are strong metrics for first stepSCImago Journal Rank – SJR• Prestige metric – similar to Google PageRank• Citations are weighted depending on the status of the source they come from• Developed by SCImago – Felix de Moya

Source-Normalized Impact per Paper – SNIP• SNIP measures contextual citation impact • Every citation is counted as 1 citation – similar to Impact Factor• SNIP is field normalized, dependent on likelihood of citation in subject field of source• Developed by Henk Moed, CWTS

Underlying calculation for both metrics‘2009 Impact’
