What Are Citation Metrics and How Are They Used in Catalysis?
Citation metrics such as the h-index, impact factor, and citation count are commonly used to evaluate the influence of research publications and researchers in catalysis. The h-index measures both the productivity and citation impact of a researcherâs publications. The impact factor assesses the average number of citations to articles published in a journal. These metrics are often used for academic evaluations, funding decisions, and to gauge the overall importance of research contributions.
