Warning: articles published in predatory journals are indexed in Google Scholar, so H-Index scores in Google Scholar often appear higher than in Scopus or Web of Science. Please consider this when comparing Google Scholar to other databases.
Consult our section on avoiding predatory journals in our Publishing in Academic Journals research guide when manually recalculating Google Scholar scores.

The calculation for H-Index is based on Scopus indexed papers only. For the citation to be counted, both the citing and cited papers must be in Scopus. More infomation on H-Index in Scopus is located in Elsevier's Scopus: Access and use Support Center .
Incorrect or incomplete citations may not be calculated, but you can see these records through the Cited Reference Search feature to recalculate manually. Click here to view more detailed information on Web of Science: H-index Information.
