Bibliometrics and h-index

På svenska

Here you find information on bibliometrics, citation analysis, and how to find your h-index.

Analysing publication patterns and scientific impact

Bibliometrics analysis can be of great value during the research process and prior to publication by:

  • supporting your choice of journal for publishing,
  • identifying most individual researchers' output,
  • describing collaboration between researchers within and outside their research fields, and
  • identifying the most cited journals and publications within a specific research field.

Get help in your analysis

We can help you conduct bibliometric analyses of your citations, publication patterns and impact, or map your research field. We also give advice on bibliometrics and the evaluation of research outreach in general. Contact the Library Research Support using the library's contact form. 

What is an h-index?

The h-index captures research output based on the total number of publications of one researcher combined with the number of citations of those works, providing a focused snapshot of an individual’s research performance. It is most useful when comparing scholars at similar career stages within the same field, as citation practices vary between disciplines.

How to find your h-index?

Finding your h-index in Scopus

  1. Go to Scopus.
  2. Under Author search, enter your last name, your first name, and click Search.
  3. On the next screen you will find your Scopus author profile. If there are multiple researchers with the same name, you will get a list of profiles. The h-index is available in the third column.

Finding your h-index in Web of Science Core Collection

  1. Open WoS Core Collection and enter Author Search. Enter your last name, your first name, and click Find.
  2. On the next screen you will find your Web of Science author record, with the h-index on the right-hand side. If you want to verify your list of publications, click Claim this record. This will also give you the option to send corrections to Web of Science.
