What does 148 over 2300 papers means exactly ?
- s0rce 6y ago148 is the h-index, which is defined as the maximum value of h such that the author has published h papers that have each been cited at least h times. (from Wikipedia). My h-index is 13.
- alacombe 6y agois 148 high ? low ? What does in intrinsically measure (beside being a competition of who piss further) ?
- andi999 6y agoYes it is high. It means you published at least 148 paper each of it cited by more than 147 times. It is supposed to measure how much interesting/useful work you do.
- sva_ 6y agoSo if you publish a single paper that only gets cited a few times, it'd completely drag you down. That doesn't seem so great honestly.
- saithound 6y agoNo, that wouldn't affect your h-index at all. If you had sixty papers that have each been cited more than sixty times, you'll still have those sixty papers even if you publish a new paper that gets cites only once.
- s0rce 6y agoits quite high, its hard to compare different fields since in a more active field papers will get cited more often. George Whitesides, one of the most cited chemists is at almost 270.
- sgt101 6y agoIt's very high vs comp sci. 50+ in comp sci is amazing.
