H index

In September of 2005 Professor Jorge E. Hirsch from University of California published a work where he proposes a new and simple index to evaluate the investigation impact, the h factor (h-index). The h factor is “the number of articles that that author has with as many or more quotations than his h factor”. The h factor of this department is 53.
