  19. h-index • The index was suggested by Jorge E. Hirsch, • The h-index is an index that quantifies both the actual scientific productivity and the apparent scientific impact of a scientist. • The index is based on the set of the scientist's most cited papers and the number of citations that they have received in other people's publications. • Hirsch suggests that, for physicists, a value for h of about 10-12 might be a useful guideline for tenure decisions at major research universities. A value of about 18 could mean a full professorship, 15–20 could mean a fellowship in the American Physical Society, and 45 or higher could mean membership in the United States National Academy of Sciences.[2]
