The h-index and multi-author hm-index for individual researchers in condensed matter physics

The characteristics of the h-index in the field of condensed matter physics are studied using high-quality data from ResearcherID. The results are examined in terms of theoretical descriptions of the h-index’ overall dependence on a researcher’s total number of published papers, and total number of citations. In particular, the models by Hirsch, Egghe and Rousseau, as well as by Glänzel and Schubert are examined. Special emphasis is placed on...
