After 3 years of joining my masters degree in Data Science, one of my research paper has been cited making me a researcher with h-index of 1. The h-index is the largest number h such that h articles have at least h citations each. The index was suggested in 2005 by Jorge E. Hirsch at University of California, San Diego giving its name the Hirsch index or Hirsch number. It is an author-level metric that measures both the productivity (i.e. number of publications) and citation impact of the publications.
