Abstract
Since 2012, Google Scholar Metrics allows researchers to create an online citations profile where their scientific and academic publications are assessed with personalised bibliometric indicators such as the ih index, the i10 index and the ih5 index, which refer to the relation between a researchers’ publications and their importance according to peers. This article presents the results of a research study about the use of the Google Scholar profile, the citation metrics, the h indicators, and the traditional citations counting tools among Communication researchers in Spain. This study also explores the new research dissemination strategies that have derived from the use of the h index in comparison to the impact factorDownloads
