This provides average citation rates by subject area for journal articles indexed by Thomson Reuters, and is restricted to items coded as regular articles and reviews.
An example researcher would have an index of h if he has published h papers, each of which has been independently cited least h times. The bottom line here is that the h-index combines the number of publications and the number of citations per publication into a single metric.
The major caveat here is that it only works properly only for comparing academics in the same field since citation density differs widely among different fields.
