The index is \"h\" if \"h\" of an author's publications have been cited at least \"h\" times.<br><br>A scientist with a high Hirsch index is an 'established author' in his or her field. Please note that the total number of citations for all publications by a given author does not affect the value of the Hirsch Index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bibliography and Bibliometrics Department<strong> calculates the H-index separately for the Web of Science and the Scopus database<\/strong>.
