Because of this, you may notice differences in scores when comparing against other websites. Note: Our corpus currently focuses on published academic articles and preprints; book coverage is very limited and patents are not included. Also, some publishers do not openly share reference data (visit <a href="https://i4oc.org/">I4OC</a> to advocate for the open sharing of reference data).<br/><br/><strong>Important</strong>: An h-index should be used as a single indicator only and not as a comprehensive and comparative measure of overall scientific impact. Due to variations in publication and citation rates across fields and because the h-index does not account for career progression, Semantic Scholar does not recommend using the h-index for comparative analysis or research assessment.<br/><br/>If you think your h-index does not accurately represent your work on Semantic Scholar, <a href="https://www.semanticscholar.org/about/contact">please let us know</a>.</p></div></div><div role="listitem" class="faq__wrapper w-dyn-item"><a href="/faq/influential-citations" class="faq__slug">Text Link</a><div data-w-id="3e78aa5b-cc0a-775a-2bba-1cd2deb7f082" class="faq__question"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/605236bb767e9a5bb229c63c/61a6aaf19c62e994c4bc92a2_arrow_grey.svg" loading="lazy" width="18" data-w-id="3e78aa5b-cc0a-775a-2bba-1cd2deb7f083" alt="" class="faq__chevron"/><div class="faq__question-text">What are Highly Influential Citations?</div></div><div data-w-id="3e78aa5b-cc0a-775a-2bba-1cd2deb7f085" class="faq__answer w-richtext"><p>Semantic Scholar identifies citations where the cited publication has a significant impact on the citing publication, making it easier to understand how publications build upon and relate to each other.
