Do you know your own h-index? New feature in Scopus! 
During the recent November release, Scopus announced a new, simple metric that enhances the evaluation of an author from 1996 to present. The h-index helps put the author’s career into context and provides visual aids that make the metric transparent.
The h-index (highly cited index) was developed by Professor J. Hirsch, University of California, San Diego, to qualify the impact and quantity of an individual’s research performance. Research has shown that the h-index correlates with citation counts, impact factors, publication counts and peer-evaluation of research impact and quality.
