| Mar 16, 2015 at 15:16 | comment | added | O. R. Mapper | Is the h-index intended to indicate productivity at all? I think a researcher can be tremendously productive (in terms of publication frequency, number of findings, etc.) and yet receive very few citations for one reason or another. | |
| Mar 16, 2015 at 15:13 | comment | added | Moriarty | Having the ability to quantify how well the h-index measures scientific productivity would by proxy imply that there exists some reliable measure of scientific productivity to use as a control. Unfortunately, no such reliable measure exists. | |
