    Study Notes

    Researcher Metrics

    • The h-index measures both a researcher's productivity and citation impact, providing a comprehensive view of their influence in academia.
    • The h-index is the largest number of papers a researcher has that each have at least that number of citations.
    • The h-index equation is h = max{i ∈ ℕ : ci ≥ i}, where ci is the citation count of the ith publication.

    i10-index

    • The i10-index counts the number of publications by a researcher that have at least 10 citations each.
    • The i10-index equation is i10-index = Number of publications with at least 10 citations.
    • The i10-index is particularly useful for evaluating the impact of early-career researchers or those with a limited publication record.

    Total Citations

    • Total Citations counts the overall number of citations a researcher has received across all their publications.
    • The Total Citations equation is TC = c1 + c2 + … + cN, where ci is the citation count of the ith publication.

    Citations per Paper

    • Citations per Paper calculates the average number of citations received per paper authored by a researcher.
    • The Citations per Paper equation is Citations per Paper (CPP) = Total number of citations / Total number of papers.
    • Citations per Paper reflects the average impact or influence of the researcher's work.

    Publication Count

    • Publication Count is the total number of publications authored or co-authored by a researcher.
    • The Publication Count equation is Publication Count = N, where N is the total number of publications.
    • Publication Count reflects a researcher's productivity and contribution to their field.

    Results and Discussion Structure

    • The Results and Discussion section in a research paper typically follows a logical progression to help readers understand the findings and their implications.
    • The structure of the Results and Discussion section allows readers to follow the research's logical progression.
