What is h-Index & i10-Index? Why this is Important? How to Increase Your h-Index & I10-Index?

#googlescholar #citations #index
The **h-index** and **i10-index** are metrics used to evaluate a researcher’s impact based on their publications and citations.

### **h-index** (18 in your case):
- It means you have **18 papers that each have at least 18 citations**.
- It reflects both the number of publications and their impact.
- For example:
- If one of your papers has 17 citations, it doesn’t contribute to the h-index.
- Similarly, if you have 100 papers, but only 18 have 18 or more citations, your h-index is still 18.

**Significance**: The h-index balances productivity and influence, but it doesn’t account for the quality of journals or extreme citation outliers.

### **i10-index** (28 in your case):
- This is a simpler metric: It counts the **number of papers with at least 10 citations**.
- In your case, 28 of your papers have been cited at least 10 times.

**Significance**: It’s a straightforward way to gauge your publications with moderate impact, but it is less nuanced compared to the h-index.

### In Summary:
- Your h-index of 18 shows a solid research impact with several highly-cited works.
- Your i10-index of 28 suggests you have a broader portfolio of papers that are moderately cited.

These metrics are often used in academia to evaluate researchers for jobs, grants, and promotions. However, they should be interpreted alongside other factors, such as the quality of journals, research field norms, and collaboration context.
