H-Index & i10-Index
This OpenAlex record is incomplete and contaminated. It contains 33 records attributed to Marie Curie — including her genuine landmark works — but misses most of her output and mixes in unrelated modern papers. The raw numbers (h-index 6, i10 4, 100 citations) are shown for transparency, not as a measure of her impact. Bibliometrics this sparse cannot quantify a two-time Nobel laureate.
OpenAlex coverage of pre-1930 publications is fragmentary, and author disambiguation for historical names is incomplete. The metrics on this page are not meaningful — they measure database coverage, not Curie's impact. OpenAlex counts journal-era output conservatively; Scholar also indexes books, theses, preprints and grey literature — Scholar figures typically run higher.
Genuine works inside the record
These entries in the record are verifiably hers — the rest are misassigned modern works.
| Work (top-cited first) | Year | Cited by |
|---|---|---|
| Recherches sur les substances radioactives ↗ | 1903 | 30 |
| Traité de radioactivité ↗ | 1910 | 12 |
| L'isotopie et les élements isotopes ↗ | 1924 | 1 |
Identity & disambiguation
- OpenAlex author ID: A5068041217
- ORCID: — (record predates or lacks an ORCID)
- Google Scholar: no public profile found
- Verification: Partially verified: the record contains her genuine works — the 1903 doctoral thesis Recherches sur les substances radioactives and the 1910 Traité de radioactivité — but is contaminated by unrelated modern papers.
How does a measured h-index 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 Curie's sit in the extreme tail of the distribution. Compare against field × career-stage benchmarks.
