The $h$ index and multi-author $h_m$ index for individual researchers in condensed matter physics.
The characteristics of the $h$ index in the field of condensed matter physics are studied using high-quality data from ResearcherID. The results are examined in terms of theoretical descriptions of the $h$ index' overall dependence on a researcher's total number of published papers, and total number of citations. In particular, the models by Hirsch, Egghe and Rousseau, as well as by Gl\"anzel and Schubert are examined. Special emphasis is placed on the deviations from such statistical descriptions, and it is argued that the deviation of a particular researcher's $h$ value from the Egghe-Rouseau model's prediction can be used as a supplementary measure of impact. A corresponding analysis with similar results is performed using the multi-author $h_m$ index.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform. Clicks to view the full text will be directed to the publisher website, where only users with subscriptions or access through their institution are able to view the full article.
