h is for horoscope? Named after Jorge Hirsch, the physicist who devised this measure of achievement, the h index quantifies how many highly cited papers an individual has written: h of his or her papers have been cited at least h times. Hirsch says that tenured researchers tend to have an h index of at least 12. |
