• h-index: calculated by using the total number of articles (h) published to date by an author and the number of citations, identifying how many of these articles pass over that number to be included in the index.

E.g. Author A has an h-index 9. This means he/she has published at least 9 articles, every one of which has been cited at least 9 times.

• Citation counts: The total sum of citations for all articles of an author.

E.g. Author A has citation count of 87. This means that you need to add up all times his/her work has been cited to calculate the Citation count.

• Average per item: This is the average number of citing articles for all items in the results set. It is the sum of the times cited count divided by the number of results in the set.

E.g. Suppose in 30 years, an author published 100 papers. These papers collectively received 2,500 citations. To find the average citations per paper: Divide the total number of citations by the total number of papers. In this case, The average number of citations per paper for the author is 25.
