> They measure disruption by examining citation patterns. What a horrible metric. I think the choice of reinventing h-index for disruption is straight out of desperation on putting numbers or something. A disruption should cause a shift in thinking or process between established methods and the novel ones. For example, discovery of next gen sequencing of DNA leads to the downfall of the older sanger process which was more laborious and time consuming. Without these corresponding reduction of established techniques, these new science does not 'disrupt' anything
