Abstract
Four years ago, the h-index burst onto the bibliometric scene, sparking an explosion of studies on the metric itself, its potential use in different contexts, and a host of variant metrics on the same theme. But the man who shares his initial with the index, Professor Jorge Hirsch, is a physicist, not a bibliometrician. Research Trends goes direct to the source to find out where the h-index came from.
