Abstract

This article is about the H-index, bibliometric indicator suggested by Hirsch that measures the success of a researcher along his/her professional career from two parameters: the link connecting the scientific production of a particular author and the quotes about this production by other authors. First of all, we will introduce this indicator followed by the Internet resources to guarantee its quality in order to calculate the H-index in a reliable and rigorous way, as for Web of Knowledge and Scopus databases.
