What is a good h-index in Computational Mathematics?
Percentiles of the h-index among 110 ranked researchers in Computational Mathematics, and where any h-index stands. All fields.
What is a good h-index in Computational Mathematics?
In Computational Mathematics, among 110 ranked researchers, the median h-index is 9. An h-index of 18 is at the 90th percentile and 36 at the 99th. The median across all fields is 10, so Computational Mathematics sits below the overall median (9 against 10).
- 50thpercentile (the median) 9 h-index

- 90thpercentile 18 h-index
- 95thpercentile 23 h-index
- 99thpercentile 36 h-index
Check an h-index
Every figure is the h-index OpenAlex holds for the researcher (author snapshot of 2026-09-23), compared with the 7,710,434 researchers Science Explorer ranks. Each is counted once in a field and once in a subfield, where they have the most papers. Career length is not recorded, and an h-index grows with years of publishing. Which h-index, and who is compared.
