Author-level metrics
Author-level metrics are citation metrics that measure the bibliometric impact of individual authors, researchers, academics, and scholars. A prime example is the h-index. Other metrics originally developed for academic journals can be reported at researcher level, such as the author-level eigenfactor[1] and the author impact factor.[2] Recently, the L-index for evaluation of individual researchers has been proposed.[3] It accounts for the number of coauthors, the age of publications, is independent of the number of publications and conveniently ranges from 0.0 to 9.9.
