Through the Author lookup, researchers can look-up authors and view various indicators including: individual author’s citation history, an author’s total citation and document counts from the author details page, access graphs and charts of document and citation trends.
H-index
H-index or the Hirsch-index was first proposed by Jorge Hirsch (2005) as a measure to quantify the researcher's output in terms of quantity (number of publications) and quality (number of citations) of a researcher's publications. The graph shows a 45 degree line which models a 1:1 relationship between published articles and their citations. An author’s publishing history is mapped out on this graph, beginning with their publication with the highest citations to the lowest. The 45 degree line represents the number of citations equal to the number of articles. Where the author’s line meets the 45 degree line marks the h-index, and it can be used to compare different scholars
An example of an author's h-index
Citation overview tracker
Includes the number of times a document has been cited per each publication year. This is presented in tabular and chart form and can be adjusted to depict the preferred year range.
Analyze author output
A collection of in-depth and visual analysis tools designed to provide a better picture of an individual’s publication history and influence. It provides details such as the co-authors, an analysis of publications by source (i.e. journal titles they have published therein), type of publication (e.g. journal articles, conference papers e.t.c) and by subject area (e.g. life sciences, Physical Sciences and Engineering).
