Authorship and citation patterns of highly cited biomedical researchers: a cross-sectional study.

Thomas V Perneger
Published in: Research integrity and peer review (2023)
The H-index and the Hm-index do not reflect the same authorship patterns: the full-credit H-index is predominantly associated with mid-list authorship, whereas the partial-credit Hm-index is driven by more balanced publication patterns, and is most strongly associated with last-author articles. Since performance metrics may act as incentives, the selection of a citation metric should receive careful consideration.
