California in San Diego) and
peace activist.

Definition of H-IndexDefinition of H-IndexAn author has index h if h of his papers have at least
h citations each and the other papers have no more than h citations each.
For example The h index for Mark Bray
Considers Scopus articles published after 1996= 4
(4 out of 18 documents have each been cited at least 4 times)
40
Properties of the h-IndexProperties of the h-Index
Easy to determine Age of Author not taken into account
- Both junior and senior authors can have a high or low H-Index
Ignores the highly & poorly cited papers – ‘one-hit wonders’
Dynamic, not a static number – can change as citations increase, real-time in Scopus
Can be used to measure : Authors, Journals, Institutions, Departments, Faculties, Selection of Papers etc..etc..etc
See Prof. Hirsch’s paper at : http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0508025

Reasons given were :
•Scopus has less bias towards the U.S. Many Asia-Pacific Journals are covered in Scopus.•Scopus covers sources in languages other than English better citation data for institutions who have high quality research in their own language
…We have used five years of citations between 2002 and 2006 as indexed by Scopus, a leading supplier of such data. Scopus has replaced Thomson Scientific as supplier of citations data. We are confident that Scopus’s coverage is at least as thorough as Thomson’s, especially in non-English language journals…
