How to get h-index

On this page, click the “Author Search” tab and create a search by typing the last name, first name (or first initials). Note: No special punctuation is required and multiple initials must be separated by a space.

The database will generate all the results at the bottom page. If there is more than one result for a given search, the database will list down all the related names to help you identify the author you want. Click the Author’s name to view the Author’s Profile/Details.

Within the Author’s Profile, you will find “View h-Graph” button to generate the h-index diagram. SCOPUS’s document and citation trends coverage start from 1997 to present.

The h-graph profile page will allow you to adjust different variables (ex. the range of dates of the documents published by the author) and it will automatically recalculate the h-index. The Analyze Author Output will show you the h-index of the author, documents submitted, number of citations, and even the co-authors.

The actual data shows the graphical presentation of Documents (by source, type, year, & subject), citations, and co-authors.
