Einstein has an H’ Index of 1?
One of the biggest axioms of management is “what cannot be measured cannot be managed”.Unfortunately this is a truism that effects scientists as much as the rest of the world. The latest trend in hiring committees, tenure review, promotions, etc., is to use statistics such as the H’ Index to quantify scientific productivity. This sounds good and reasonable, but unfortunately the main source used for this is the ISI Web of Science by Thomson-Rueters. This database is incomplete to say the least and misses many legitimate publications entirely.
