This chart shows Boston University's peer-reviewed h-index over time and its percentile among universities. A university has a peer-reviewed h-index of h if it has published h peer-reviewed articles that have each received at least h citations from peer-reviewed articles. The series is computed using peer-reviewed articles published up to each year, regardless of when citations occurred.
The front-end h-index of Boston University is 708. This h-index uses the broader indexed document set, and it has a rank of 36 among all universities.
How should I interpret the h-index?
Here, the h-index is computed from the extended document set, which adds discussions, perspectives, books, book chapters, and proceedings to the peer-reviewed core (research articles, short communications, and review articles). Preprints are excluded from both sets. Compare with the peer-reviewed h-index for the peer-reviewed-only view.
