For nearly two decades, many scientists have relied on the h-index—which measures the productivity and citation impact of a researcher’s publications—as a yardstick of academic success.1 However, several researchers criticize the metric for considering all of an individual’s papers equally, irrespective of whether they are a first, middle, or corresponding author.
