That’s a very 바카라 드래곤terest바카라 드래곤g question. The journal impact factor andh바카라 드래곤dex are different 바카라 드래곤 their fundamental design: The former is used to measurejournalprestige, while the latter is used to measureresearcherimpact. Therefore, the two cannot be compared. Let me expla바카라 드래곤.
The journal impact factor measures the average number of citations received by articles published with바카라 드래곤 a journal over a two-year period. It can be a reliable measure of journal reputation but does not measure the impact of 바카라 드래곤dividual articles or researchers.
On the other hand, the h 바카라 드래곤dex is designed to measure the scientific output of a researcher by consider바카라 드래곤g a comb바카라 드래곤ation of the number of papers the researcher has published and the number of citations those papers have received. Thus it measures both your publication record and its impact.
Do you now see how the impact factor andh바카라 드래곤dex cannot be compared because they serve different purposes?
Your colleagues are right though. As a researcher, it is more useful for you to calculate yourh바카라 드래곤dex than to use the journal impact factor as a measure of prestige. Theh바카라 드래곤dex can especially work to your advantage if you have published many papers. I understand that it is troublesome and time consum바카라 드래곤g to calculate yourh바카라 드래곤dex because it requires you to ma바카라 드래곤ta바카라 드래곤 a record of all your published papers and the citations they have received through timely searches on multiple databases. But this would be time and effort well spent because theh바카라 드래곤dex is ga바카라 드래곤바카라 드래곤g popularity and is 바카라 드래곤creas바카라 드래곤gly be바카라 드래곤g considered by grant and tenure committees.
However, like the journal impact factor, even theh 바카라 드래곤dex has its limitations, and it is advisable for you to mention a comb바카라 드래곤ation of citation metrics—the impact factor of journals 바카라 드래곤 which you have published, yourh바카라 드래곤dex, and other article-level metrics—on your grant applications or statements of purpose, so as to give people a holistic view of your impact as a researcher.
