What is the difference between h-index and g-index?

The h-index measures both productivity and citation impact of a researcher, while the g-index gives more weight to highly cited papers.

You

Which one is better for evaluating a researcher's impact?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

It depends on the context. The h-index is more commonly used, but the g-index can provide a better view of highly impactful work.

😀
You

Can you give an example of how to calculate both?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Sure! For the h-index, if a researcher has 10 papers cited at least 10 times each, their h-index is 10. For the g-index, if those papers have a total of 100 citations, the g-index would be calculated based on the square of the number of citations.

😀
You

Are there any limitations to these indices?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Yes, both indices have limitations. The h-index doesn't account for the number of authors on a paper, and the g-index can be skewed by a few highly cited papers.
