Tenure and Promotion at William & Mary

This guide assists tenure-track and research active faculty with identifying sources for and obtaining quantitative data, also known as metrics, about their publications as part of the tenure and/or promotion process.

Calculating H-Index

Scopus and Google Scholar offer the ability to generate an author's citation summary, including h-index and a number of other citation metrics.  

If you wish to manually generate your own h-index, especially if many of your publications are not included in one of the above databases, see the link below for more details.
