H-Index Calculator is the application that allows you to determine simply an OPTIMAL H-INDEX OF EVERY SCIENTIST relying on Google Scholar.

★★★ ABSOLUTE NOVELTY ★★★
The most important feature of the application is TO INCLUDE in H-Index calculation, ONLY SCIENTISTS PUBLICATIONS!! This important feature is made possible by the extraction of all publications from the homepage of considered scientist (the web page where there are all scientists publications).

Since version 2.0.0, if considered scientist have a user profile in Google Scholar, you can extract his publications from his personal profile in the simplest way possible!

So there are 2 possible ways to extract the publications of considered scientist: from his homepage and from his personal profile of Google Scholar.

If considered scientist has neither personal homepage nor personal profile in Google Scholar, you can extract his publications relying on Google Scholar.

★★★ CHARACTERISTICS ★★★
☛ OPTIMAL H-INDEX
☛ NO HOMONYMOUS that distort the H-Index
☛ ACCURATE
☛ SIMPLE
☛ INTUITIVE
☛ COMPATIBLE FOR IPAD AND IPHONE/IPOD TOUCH
☛ OPTION TO SAVE SCIENTISTS AND THEIR H-INDEX
☛ OPTION TO CALCULATE H-INDEX FROM PERSONAL PROFILE OF GOOGLE SCHOLAR


Thanks to everyone who buys the application!

Latest reviews of H-Index Calculator app for iPhone and iPad

Doesnt work at all
The application idea is good - but it doesnt work at all: all searches result in the application claiming that google scholar returns no results - and that, regardless of what search input is given in the author field. Not sure how to go about getting a refund, but this is a hugely disappointing application. Update September 3, 2012: Tried the version updated end of June 2012, and the application - still - doesnt work: either it crashes, or it returns "Error! Failed search" Recommend not spending money on this app.
Non funziona. It does not work.
Con iphone4s non funziona crasha! Ridatemi i miei soldi! With iphone4s it does not work! I want my money back!
Non funziona piú
It keeps saying: publications from google scholar not found.
Does not work!
No matter what name you put in it returns 0 publications and h-index 0, even with homepage turned off. Dont waste your money on this useless app until this is fixed.
Horrible app - doesnt work
should be removed from the app store!
