24. H-index (Hirsch index or Hirsch number) The index was suggested by Jorge E. Hirsch, a physicist at UCSDJorge E. Hirsch, a physicist at UCSD The h-index is intended to measure simultaneously the quality and quantity of scientific output, reflecting both the number of publications and the number of citations per publication. The index, however, works properly only for comparing scientists working in the same field; citation conventions differ widely among different fields.

28. Professorial lecture (Tecson-Mendoza et al., 2010) entitled “Establishing UPLB as a Research University” concluded that “ While UPLB meets the minimum requirements of a research university, it has scored low in most of the criteria for research universities. In particular, it suffers from poor quality profile and number of faculty, low research budget, and low level research activities and outputs such as publications”.
