H-Index & i10-Index
| Database (snapshot October 27, 2026) | h-index | i10-index | Cited by |
|---|---|---|---|
| OpenAlex A5109805546 ↗ 1,395 works indexed |
111 | 328 | 89,462 |
| Google Scholar profile ↗ auto-generated profile — not self-maintained | 128 | 383 | 192,137 |
OpenAlex counts his output conservatively (journal-era physics); Scholar's auto-generated profile adds books and translations, pushing both h-index and totals higher. OpenAlex counts journal-era output conservatively; Scholar also indexes books, theses, preprints and grey literature — Scholar figures typically run higher.

Identity & disambiguation
- OpenAlex author ID: A5109805546
- ORCID: — (record predates or lacks an ORCID)
- Google Scholar: auto-generated public profile (not self-maintained)
- Verification: Top-cited works match the canonical record: the EPR paper (1935), Brownian motion, the 1905 special-relativity paper, and the 1916 general-relativity paper.
How does 111 compare to the field? The OpenAlex benchmark dataset (63,665 authors) puts a senior physics researcher's median h-index far below these numbers — profiles like Einstein's sit in the extreme tail of the distribution. Compare against field × career-stage benchmarks.
