概要	The h-index, or Hirsch index, is a quantitative metric proposed by physicist Jorge Hirsch in 2005 to measure researcher productivity and citation impact simultaneously. A researcher has an h-index of h if they have published at least h papers, each cited at least h times. For example, an h-index of 20 means the researcher has 20 papers each cited at least 20 times. The h-index is widely used in research evaluation, hiring, and promotion decisions, though experts debate its limitations. It provides a single number balancing quantity of publications against quality of citations, offering an intuitive summary of research career impact.	SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) is a prestige-weighted metric measuring journal citation impact based on Scopus data, developed by SCImago Group (a Spanish research consortium) in 2010. Unlike raw citation counts, SJR values citations from high-prestige journals more heavily than those from lower-prestige journals, similar to Google's PageRank algorithm. This prestige weighting approach accounts for field-specific citation cultures and provides fairer cross-discipline comparisons than raw impact factor. SJR is widely used for journal ranking, quality assessment, and publication targeting, complementing traditional Impact Factor with a prestige dimension.
