What is a good h-index in Discrete Mathematics and Combinatorics?
Percentiles of the h-index among 2,020 ranked researchers in Discrete Mathematics and Combinatorics, and where any h-index stands. All fields.
What is a good h-index in Discrete Mathematics and Combinatorics?
In Discrete Mathematics and Combinatorics, among 2,020 ranked researchers, the median h-index is 7. An h-index of 18 is at the 90th percentile and 37 at the 99th. The median across all fields is 10, so Discrete Mathematics and Combinatorics sits below the overall median (7 against 10).
- 50thpercentile (the median) 7 h-index

- 90thpercentile 18 h-index
- 95thpercentile 24 h-index
- 99thpercentile 37 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.
