George Washington
George is a researcher studying several genes associated with an increased incidence of melanoma. He has been working in the field for 4 years post graduate school and he is co-author on 14 publications. Here are his publications with the # of citations and 2022 Impact Factor:
1. NEJM (2022) - 11 citations
[2022 Impact Factor = 158.5]
2. Molecular Therapy (2021) - 13 citations
[2022 Impact Factor = 12.4]
3. Molecular Therapy (2021) - 0 citations
[2022 Impact Factor = 12.4]
4. Human Gene Therapy (2021) - 21 citations
[2022 Impact Factor = 4.2]
5. Cancer Gene Therapy (2020) - 3 citations
[2022 Impact Factor = 6.4]
6. Human Gene Therapy (2020) - 4 citations
[2022 Impact Factor = 4.2]
7. Gene Therapy (2020) - 19 citations
[2022 Impact Factor = 5.1]
8. Cancer Gene Therapy (2019) - 3 citations
[2022 Impact Factor = 6.4]
9. Cancer Gene Therapy (2019) - 2 citations
[2022 Impact Factor = 6.4]
George is looking for a new job and he would like to quantify his research impact in the most flattering way possible.
Let's look at some of the ways we can quantify his output:
H-Index: 4
G-Index: 8
cH-Index (4/y+1): 9
Conclusions
- G-Index is the best measure for George as it best highlights the fact that a significant percentage of his publications had an impact.
- Average citations per article also highlights significant impact for a relatively small sample of publications.
- The impact factors of the journals in which he published have increased over time - another point he may want to highlight.

George is looking for a new job and he would like to quantify his research impact in the most flattering way possible.
Let's look at some of the ways we can quantify his output:
H-Index: 4
G-Index: 5
cH-Index (4/y+1): 6
Conclusions
- H-Index is a good measure for George as he has had a large number of articles that have a similar number of citations without having many that have a lot of citations.
- cH-Index isn't so good as some of his heavier cited articles are his older ones and so they are losing 'impact' by this calculation.
- The impact factors of the journals he is cited in are towards the lower end for Immunology journals, so this isn't a major 'selling point' for George either.
