From @EricLehrer @DrEmmaHolliday @PennStHershey @penn_state
[tweetorial] on the impact of h-index and m-index on promotion/tenure.

e.g., here are requirements from top tier institution, for non-tenure track and tenure-track faculty.
Historically, some said:
Asst prof = regional reputation
Assoc prof = national
Full prof = international

Universities often lose gifted junior physicians and scientists.

How to calculate: line up one's publications from most cited to least cited. h-index = number of pubs with at least that many citations


Also, if you're a middle author on high impact paper, h-index will still only rise by 1 from this paper.
Other caveats with h-index via @Publons : blog.publons.com/blog/5-things-…
scholar.google.com easiest, IMO.
@AWHarzing
Theoretically, those with highest potential for growth in h-index will have scientific success. Growth can be predicted.

@EricLehrer did statistical wizardry: when the 95% CI wasn't reported, he digitized plots to back calculate from SDs or SEMs.
We included~17K physicians; ~14K in meta-analysis


Mean h-index 5.22 (95% CI: 4.21–6.23, n = 6,609)

Mean h-index 11.22 (95% CI: 9.65–12.78, n = 3,508)

Mean h-index 20.77 (95% CI: 17.94–23.60, n = 3,626)

Mean h-index 22.08 (95% CI: 17.73–26.44, n = 816)

Every time we pursue a research project, it is like buying another lottery ticket. Success can come at any time.
