My Google Scholar Stat Info (20th July 2016)

Every academicians / researchers in a university all over the world will have their own Google Scholar Account by this era. I’m included. Like other comrades, I am striving hard to contribute as much as I can to the scientific community, especially those that dwell within the regions of Chemical Engineering. My Google Scholar stat info as per shown below (If you are interested to see, just click the image below to enlarge it). This is for my personal record to see, to assess, to evaluate, to reflect later in future, how I am performing as an academician / researcher. For record, I uploaded Figure 1 and Figure 2.

My 2 cents

As a new lecturer it is not easy to straight away jump and show colourful glaring Google Scholar Stat.  There are so much to do such as prepare/write/submit research proposal to get research grants, get some students (good students), supervise and monitor research, write and publish in reputable journal, participate in conferences, perhaps write 1 or 2 book chapters etc. The impact of all this hardwork will only be materialize in the next few years. Well, I just completed my Ph.D in 2013 , struggled to secure some research grants in 2014 and managed to have some good students in 2015. So, now is the time to work smart and hard. I hope my Google Scholar stats will be more decorative in the coming 2017. InsyaAllah

What is H-index

Previously researchers are rank based on how many impact factor journals they have. However, recently, a more superior measure was used which is the h-index.

So, what is h-index?

H-index is an index that attempts to measure both the productivity and citation body of work published in the scientific and akateemisia.Indeksi based on the number most cited scientific articles and the number of citations received in other publications. The index can be applied to the productivity and effectiveness of the academic journal and a group of scientists, such as department or university or country. The index was proposed in 2005 by Jorge E. Hirsch, a physicist at UCSD, as a means to determine the relative quality of a theoretical physicist and is sometimes called the Hirsch Hirsch index or number.

The index is based on the distribution of citations received by a given researcher’s publications. Hirsch writes:

A scientist has index h if h of his/her Np papers have at least h citations each, and the other (Np − h) papers have no more than h citations each.

For more information about h-index, refer here.
