The lecturer also explained how to calculate the Hirsch coefficient using various sources such as Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science.
The doctor explained the advantages and disadvantages of each source, and explained what the h-index is, which is another indicator that measures the number of papers that have received 10 or more citations.
