A Modification to Hirsch Index Allowing Comparisons across Different Scientific Fields
The Hirsch index (h-index) was introduced by physicist Jorge E. Hirsch in 2005, originally to determine the ‘quality’ of theoretical physicists by citation counts of their publications. Since then, the h-index has been used as a measure of the scientific proficiency of scholars in various scientific disciplines, university departments, scientific journals, etc.
