  3. Research metrics are considered as an important tool in assessing the academics papers for institutions or academicorganizations. It is utilised as the form of the quality assessment tool for performing normal scienceresearch. Introduction The h-index is considered as the commonly used form of author- level metric which helps to report the author’s output depending on the total publication and total citations made in researchwork. This study discussed the importance of research metrics and its difference with h-index in respect to academicresearch.

  4. Importance of ResearchMetrics Research metrics or rather Scientometrics, is a combined word or two important words, such as Science andMetrics. The importance of metrics is thus found in quantitative analysis, where the researcher conducts different and various scientificdomains. The citation indexes thus are found to utilise inScientometrics. These indexes are necessary to assess the journals and it measuresthe Impact Factor or IF of the article.

  5. Importance of H-index in ResearchMetrics The h-index has been introduced by Hirsch in the year2005. It helps the researcher in calculating the research achievement in scientificresearch. It depends on individual publications of the author and also the number of citation based on which publications are needed toattract. H-index is a type of author-levelmetrics. It helps to indicate the number of articles or h that is found to be cited with the least or h number oftimes.

  6. H-metrics can count highly cited paper irrespective of any reason of being referenced, like in the case of negative reason, this metric can beused. Limitations while using H-metrics The metric process sometimes limits the authors through the total number in thepublications. It does not consider the variations within in the case of an average number of thepublication. There is a relatively low resolution in the case ofh-metrics.

  7. How to Improve H-index In the competitive environment of the university, the quantitative indicator like h-index becomes moreimportant. The citations are found to increase when the researcher will cite his or college and the other researcher may also follow thesame. The most important process is to increase the searching through the search machines,like, Google Scholars, Research Gate or Pub Medetc. H-index can be increased by promoting some research papers or journalsthrough compatible searchengines.

  8. Other than this author-level h-metric there are journal-level and article-level research metrics which have also some specific impact in the researchfield. Other Types of Research Metrics Impact Factor, Eigen factor or Immediacy Index are the Journal-level researchmetrics. The impact factor is utilised very frequently and it is published by Journal Citation Reports orJCR. Eigen factor provides a higher weightage citation from the influential journals. Immediacy Index indicates the average number of the articlecitation. Contd..

  9. It is considered only at the first publication of the journal orarticle. Article-level metrics are utilised for quantifying the impact of the publishedarticles. Almetrics is considered as the alternative form of traditionalcitation. Almetrics is a type of article-level metrics and it includes peer reviews, citations made on Wikipedia or any public policy documents, like research blogs, bookmarks or any media coverageetc.

  10. Therefore, the value of research metrics is very significant in scientific researchas it helps to assess the quality and level of citations in researcharticles. Conclusion H-index is a common and popular tool in research metrics and the use of h-metrics can be improved by promoting this tool in more number ofresearchers.
