Broadening Your Impact

i10-Index

Created by Google Scholar and used in Google's My Citations feature.

i10-Index = the number of publications with at least 10 citations.

This very simple measure is only used by Google Scholar, and is another way to help gauge the productivity of a scholar.

Advantages of i10-Index

• Very simple and straightforward to calculate
• My Citations in Google Scholar is free and easy to use

Disadvantages of i10-Index

• Used only in Google Scholar
