Which Metric Should I Use?

H-Index

Best for general benchmarking. Balances quantity (number of papers) and quality (citations). Used by most universities for tenure and promotion decisions.

G-Index

Better when you have highly-cited breakthrough papers. Gives proper credit to a paper with 2,000 citations vs. one with 20 — which H-index treats identically above threshold.

i10-Index

Simplest: just counts papers with 10+ citations. Used by Google Scholar. Transparent and easy to understand, but less nuanced than H or G.

Career Projection

Use for planning: grant applications, tenure timelines, benchmarking against field averages. Adjusts for field-specific citation norms and career stage.
