The h-index is no longer an effective correlate of scientific reputation. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2021 The impact of individual scientists is commonly quantified using citation-based measures. The most common such measure is the h-index. A scientist’s h-index affects hiring, promotion, and funding decisions, and thus shapes the progress of science.

The h'-index, effectively improving the h-index based on the citation distribution. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2013 Although being a simple and effective index that has been widely used to evaluate academic output of scientists, the h-index suffers from drawbacks. One critical disadvantage is that only h-squared citations can be inferred from the h-index, which completely ignores excess and h-tail citations, leading to unfair and inaccurate evaluations in many cases.
