English abstract

The H-Index Scholar is a bibliometric index that measures the productivity and scientific impact of the academic production in humanities and social sciences by professors and researchers at public Spanish universities. The methodology consisted of counting their publications and citations received in Google Scholar. The main features and characteristics of the index are explained. Despite technical and methodological problems that Google Scholar might have as a source of information, the authors estimate that they do not affect substantially the calculated h and g indexes, probably being the error lower than 10%. The total population analyzed was 40,993 researchers, but data are displayed only for 13,518 researchers, the ones located in the first tertile of their respective areas.

H Index Scholar es un índice bibliométrico sobre la productividad e impacto científico de la producción académica de los profesores e investigadores de universidades públicas españolas en humanidades y ciencias sociales. Se realiza mediante el recuento de sus publicaciones y de las citas bibliográficas que han recibido en Google Scholar. Se describen las principales funciones y características del producto. A pesar de los problemas técnicos y metodológicos que pueda presentar Google Scholar como fuente de información, los autores estiman que no afectan en lo sustancial a los índices h y g ofrecidos, estando dentro de una tasa de error del 10%. La población total analizada ha sido de 40.993 profesores, de los que se visualiza un total de 13.518 situados en el primer tercil de sus respectivas áreas.
