What it is:
The i10-Index is a metric showing the number of papers that have received at least 10 citations.
What it is used for:
The i10-index was created by Google Scholar and is employed only on Google Scholar. It is used to provide additional information about a researcher’s impact beyond the h-index, which can obscure high-impact papers or highly-productive authors.
Nota Bene:
-
Although it is free to access and easily calculated, like any other indicator the i10-index should be contextualized.
-
It should not be used to make comparisons outside of disciplines or career stage.
How to Find It:
-
Google Scholar (freely available)
-
To view your own i10-index, you first need to set up a Google Scholar Profile. Your Google Scholar Profile page will include all of the documents that Google has indexed under your authorship, and i10-index information is listed at the top of the right hand column.
-
To view someone else’s i10-index, search their name in Google Scholar. If they have a public profile, you will be able to view their i10-index.
