“In my opinion, the author-level metric can distort a real author's citation impact. For example, an author who has an h-index = 2 obtained on the basis of two published papers of which each is cited twenty times is more influential than an author who has an h-index = 3 obtained on the basis of three published papers of which each is cited three times.” ScienceInspirational QuotesMotivational QuotesInfluenceResearchAuthorSociologyPublicationAuthorshipScientific ResearchCitationSociology QuotesScientific WorkAuthor Level MetricCitation ImpactCitation IndexPublished Paper Author:Eraldo Banovac
