Measuring up: how does the h-index correlate with peer assessments

Abstract

There are two broad approaches to assess research performance: peer review and the numerous indices based on bibliometric data and analysis. But do they both provide comparable results, and how should they be used? We ask Lutz Bornmann and Hans-Dieter Daniel how the h-index performs against peer review.
