H-Index Calculator using Data from a Web of Science (WoS) Citation Report

Description

H-Index Calculator using Data from a Web of Science (WoS) Citation Report

Usage

hindexcalculator(readcsv, hx, date)

Arguments

readcsv

- The read.csv function that will locate the citation report of interest

hx

- The h-index of interest. Can be any positive integer or "c" (without quotations) for cumulative h-index

date

- The last year of interest plus 1. For instance, if the citation report includes the year 2015 but you want h(10) not incuding 2015, therefore 2005-2014, you would enter 2015 for this argument

Examples

#calculate the h(10) of the Brigham and Women's Hospital - Department of Anesthesia
 data(BWHCitationReport)
 readcsv <- BWHCitationReport
 hx <- 10
 date <- 2015
