H-Index: Your Research Impact

The H Index was developed by J.E. Hirsch.

The h-index is based on a list of publications ranked in descending order by the times cited. The value of H is equal to the number of papers (N) in the list that have N or more citations.

The h-index is calculated by the number of publications and the number of citations received. For example, an h index of 20 means there are 20 items, that have 20 citations or more.

  • Average h-index may vary by database used
  • Average h-index may vary between different disciplines
  • Average h-index may vary by identification the name of the author
  • Self-citations may influence on h-index
  • Cross-disciplinary research may produce fewer citations
  • Publishing careers might appear disadvantaged by low h-indexes content and coverage.

DORA – The San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment at the Technion

The Technion recently became a signatory of The San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA).

DORA is a worldwide initiative that aims to help organizations develop and adopt meaningful changes to research assessment practices.

There is a set of recommendations which focuses on the problem of misuse of journal-based metrics, such as Journal Impact Factors in the assessment of peer reviewed journal articles.
