The h index Is a bibliometric indicator that evaluates an author-level metric and attempts to measure both the productivity and citation impact of the publications of a scientist or scholar. The index is based on the set of the scientist's most cited papers and the number of citations received in other publications. The index can also be applied to the productivity and impact of an academic journal as well as a group of scientists, such as a department or university or country.[2] The index was suggested in 2005 by Jorge E. Hirsch, a physicist at UC San Diego, as a tool for determining theoretical physicists' relative quality[3] and it is sometimes called the Hirsch index or Hirsch number Therefore, this study aims to identify this index and to determine the most important advantages, disadvantages, and the most important revisions
