Many citation based impact measures have been proposed. Each has advantages and limitations. Scholarometer computes some of the most established impact factors. Hirsch’s original h-index (doi:10.1073/pnas.0507655102) is defined as the maximum number of articles h such that each has received at least h citations. Egghe’s g-index gives more weight to publications with many citations (doi:10.1007/s11192-006-0144-7). Schreiber’s hm index apportions citations fairly for papers with multiple authors (doi:10.1088/1367-2630/10/4/040201). Finally, Radicchi, Fortunato and Castellano’s universal h-index hf allows to quantitatively compare the impact of authors in different disciplines, with different citation patterns (doi:10.1073/pnas.0806977105).
