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.
