Google Scholar Metrics

Google Scholar provides a list of top publications by a broad category and subcategories based on citations within Google Scholar. To access, click on the menu in the top left corner and select Metrics > View All > Categories.

Google Scholar Metrics help authors assess the visibility and influence of recent articles in scholarly publications. Two metrics are displayed:

h5-index is the h-index for articles published in the last 5 complete years. It is the largest number h such that h articles published in 2019-2023 have at least h citations each.

h5-median for a publication is the median number of citations for the articles that make up its h5-index.
