Modern science is evaluated not only by the quality of publications but also by citation and impact metrics of researchers—both over their entire careers and during specified periods. One of the most important tools in this area is the database Science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators (Elsevier), which contains standardized bibliometric data such as citation counts, h-index, and indicators adjusted for co-authorship and self-citations.
