h-Index

Catalysis for Energy: Fundamental Science and Long-Term Impacts of the U.S. Department of Energy Basic Energy Science Catalysis Science Program” (National Academies Press, 2009) is filled with useful information, beyond the obvious. For example, take a look at TABLE 3-5 H-index ranking of select prominent chemists with relevance to the Catalysis Science Program, according to 2008 H-Index, H-Index Rank, and Field of Chemistry (other prominent chemists listed for comparison). The h-Index, according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-index) “…is an index that attempts to measure both the scientific productivity and the apparent scientific impact of a scientist.”

Table 3-5 lists those h-index chemists that are relevant to the Catalysis Science Program. Because catalysis research lies at the core of advancing effective desulfurization technology, the table is an excellent starting point for identifying potential consultants with expertise in your area of interest.
