Using the H-index to Rank Influential Information Scientists

We apply a new bibliometric measure, the h-index (Hirsch, 2005), to the literature of information science. Faculty rankings based on raw citation counts are compared with those based on h-counts. There is a strong positive correlation between the two sets of rankings. We show how the h-index can be used to express the broad impact of a scholarĂ¢ s research output over time in more nuanced fashion than straight citation counts.
