Abstract

[...]it is highly controversial when the use of JIF is extended to evaluate the merit of papers therein and/or to assess an individual researcher. In other words, a scholar with 'h-index' has published 'h' papers each of which has been cited in other papers at least 'h' times. [...]the h-index reflects both the number of publications and the number of citations per publication.
