Tools for calculting the h-index
As outlined in section 2.2.2 the main tools used, and available to you are:
- Web of Science
- Google Scholar (Publish or perish)
Which tool should I use?
There are pros and cons associated with each of the above tools. For example, your choice will depend on the titles covered by them. In the case of Web of Science, the calculation will also be affected by the nature of your library's subscription to it - perhaps the subscription may not cover conference proceedings.
Here is a video from Web of Science showing how to calculate your h-index:
