Where can I find my h-index?

Your h-index is the largest number X such that you have at least X publications with at least X citations.

There are three different ways of finding your h-index:

1. Through KI RIMS you can export your Qualifications Portfolio using the reporting function. All bibliometric parameters are automatically retrieved from KI RIMS to the qualifications portfolio, including h-index.

2. Through Web of Science by searching all your publications and from the resulting list of publications select "Create Citation Report" (to the right above the search result).

3. You can calculate h-index from your list of verified publications in the bibliometric system, (if you have no publications from before 1995 and have verified all your publications).

Login and verify all your publications. Export them to Excel (or anything else that can read csv files) from the publication list in the Analysis Toolkit.

Sort the publications after times cited (with the most cited publications first and so on) and look in the sorted list where the number of citations is at least equal to the order number.

Example:

Order Citations
1 ......... 23
2 ......... 11
3 ......... 5
4 ......... 2
5 ......... 1

In this case, h-index is 3, since publication number 3 has 5 citations (at least 3) but publication number 4 has 2 citations (less than 4).
