How can I use an h-graph? (2024)

Last updated on September 21, 2023

Last updated on September 21, 2023

The h-graph is one way of displaying and comparing the productivity and impact of published work of scholars. The h-index is the method used which was developed by J. E. Hirsch.

The h-index is based on the highest number of papers included that have had at least the same number of citations. The graph shows a 45 degree line which models a 1:1 relationship between publishing articles and being cited. An author’s publishing history is mapped out on this graph, beginning with their publication with the highest citations to the lowest.

Select a section below to find out more about the h-index, how it works, and how corrections can be made:

How is the h-graph calculated?

The h-index is available in both a graph and a document list from the Analyze Author Output page. The graph displays information as an interactive graph for authors, multiple authors, or a group of selected documents.

The graph includes two lines: h-index and the 45 degree line:

  • The h-index represents the number citations received for each of the articles in descending order.
  • The 45 degree line represents the number of citations equal to the number of articles.
    Where the author’s line meets the 45 degree line marks the h-index, and it can be used to compare different scholars

How can I create an h-graph?

Click on a topic below to see steps on creating an h-graph for:

An individual author

You can create an h-index for a single author and any matched authors.

  1. Run an author search. A list of author search results opens.
  2. From the author results list, click the name of the author you want to evaluate. The author details page opens.
  3. From the author details page, click ‘View h-graph’. The Analyze Author Output page opens with the h-index tab selected.
  4. You can interact with the results:
    • Change the date range
    • Select ‘Exclude self citations
    • Select ‘Exclude citations from books
    • Or zoom in on a segment of the graph by left-clicking and dragging across the section you are interested in.

Two or more authors

You can create an h-index for more than one author from Author search results. The h-index includes documents written by all selected authors.

  1. Run an author search. A list of author search results opens.
  2. From the results list, select checkboxes for authors you want to evaluate.
  3. Click ‘View citation overview’. The Citation overview for the selected authors opens.
  4. From the Citation overview page, click ‘View h-graph’. The Analyze Author Output page opens with the h-index tab selected, depicting the selected authors’ h-index.

Selected documents from a document results list

You can create an h-index for selected documents from most Scopus results lists.

  1. Run a document search. A list of documents search results opens.
  2. From the document search results, select the documents you want to evaluate.
  3. From the document search results list, click ‘View citation overview’. The Citation overview for the selected documents opens.
  4. From the Citation overview page, click ‘View h-graph’. The h-graph for the selected documents opens.
How can I check if my h-index is correct?

Your h-index relies on two key pieces of information for its accuracy:

  1. The documents you published must be linked to your profile
  2. Citations of your documents must be linked in Scopus

We get it right almost all the time; however, there are times when corrections need to be made, and we are happy to help you with those.

How

Find out which of these categories best fits your situation:

  • Missing documents - Can I find the document on Scopus?
    • Yes? See How can I correct my author profile?
    • No? See How do I request to add a missing document?
  • Missing citations - Can I find the citing / cited documents on Scopus?
    • Yes? See How can I add missing citations?
    • No? See How do I request to add a missing document?
Scopus content coverage for h-index

Scopus is currently updating pre-1996 cited references going back to 1970. The h-index might increase over time.

For more information, see the Scopus content coverage policy.

FAQs

What does H do to a graph? ›

In this equation, h represents the horizontal shift, or how far the graph moves horizontally from x=0, and k represents the vertical shift, or how far the graph moves vertically from y=0, and a is a constant that tells us how much the graph stretches or shrinks vertically and if the a is negative, it tells us that the ...

What is the h graph in graph theory? ›

"The" H graph is the tree on 6 vertices illustrated above. It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as GraphData["HGraph"]. The term "H-graph" is also used to refer to a graph expansion with the 6-vertex H graph as its base (e.g., Horton and Bouwer 1991).

What are some ways you can use a graph? ›

Graphs are a common method to visually illustrate relationships in the data. The purpose of a graph is to present data that are too numerous or complicated to be described adequately in the text and in less space. Do not, however, use graphs for small amounts of data that could be conveyed succinctly in a sentence.

What is an H chart? ›

An H-Chart is similar in function to a Venn Diagram and is used to compare and contrast two items. The sample below asks teacher education students to compare and contrast two major theorists, Vygotsky and Piaget after reading the appropriate chapter in their textbook.

What is the effect of H on the graph? ›

h values cause left or right movement of the graph. This is called a horizontal shift or TRANSLATION. When h is NEGATIVE, the graph moves RIGHT.

What is H in graphing form? ›

the h represents a horizontal shift (how far left, or right, the graph has shifted from x = 0). • the k represents a vertical shift (how far up, or down, the graph has shifted from y = 0).

What are hypergraphs used for? ›

A hypergraph is the higher-order analogue of a graph. Using this type of graph, we are able to model a data set in more ways. Graph theory is limited since it only represents binary connections. Complex systems can be shown using a hypergraph.

What direction does H shift the graph? ›

Given a function f, a new function g(x)=f(x−h), where h is a constant, is a horizontal shift of the function f. If h is positive, the graph will shift right. If h is negative, the graph will shift left.

What is a graph that starts with H? ›

A graph that starts with the letter 'H' is known as a hypergraph.

What is the easiest graph to use? ›

1. Bar chart. A bar chart, also known as a horizontal column chart, is popular for a reason — it's easy on the eyes and quickly visualizes data sets. With bar charts, you can quickly identify which bar is the highest or the lowest, including the incremental differences between bars.

What are the 3 uses of graph? ›

The three advantages of graphs are as follows: It makes data presentable and easy to understand. It helps in summarizing the data in a crisp manner. It helps in the comparison of data in a better way.

How can graphs be useful? ›

Graphs and charts are effective visual tools because they present information quickly and easily. It is not surprising then, that graphs are commonly used by print and electronic media. Sometimes, data can be better understood when presented by a graph than by a table because the graph can reveal a trend or comparison.

What is an H diagram? ›

Abstract: A geometric model, termed an H diagram, is an effective visual aid in the synthesis of combinational logic circuits. The model is derived by means of coordinate transformations of a hypercube, resulting in a simple two-dimensional framework for mapping a binary function.

What is the H pattern strategy? ›

H Pattern trading is a technical chart analysis strategy that identifies potential trend reversals after a stock has experienced a sharp decline. This pattern is characterized by a steep price drop, a temporary rebound, and a subsequent fall below the previous low, forming a shape that resembles the letter “h”.

What is an H path? ›

In the mathematical field of graph theory, a Hamiltonian path (or traceable path) is a path in an undirected or directed graph that visits each vertex exactly once. A Hamiltonian cycle (or Hamiltonian circuit) is a cycle that visits each vertex exactly once.

What does H do in a function? ›

The parameter h has the effect of horizontally shifting a function to the left or right, depending on its value.

How does H affect a function? ›

Given a functionf, a new functiong(x)=f(x−h), g ( x ) = f ( x − h ) , whereh is a constant, is a horizontal shift of the functionf. Ifh is positive, the graph will shift right. Ifh is negative, the graph will shift left.

What happens to the graph as H increases? ›

As the value of h increases, the function shifts to the right. As the value of h decreases, the function shifts to the left. What happens to the graph when you increase or decrease the value of k? Interactive popup.

What does H do in an exponential function? ›

the “h” in y = ab^(x-h) + k : is the x-translation, that is it moves the graph right or left. the “k” in y = ab^(x-h) + k : is the y-translation, that is it moves the graph up or down.
