This metric is based on the articles published by a journal over the previous 5 calendar years with a minimum of 100 articles in this period. If a journal publishes 100 articles sooner, an h5 Index can be calculated earlier. h is the largest number of articles that have each been cited h times. The h5 Index therefore cannot be dominated by one or several highly cited articles. The h5 Index for Journal of General Internal Medicine is 57, i.e. there were 57 articles published between 2014 and 2018 that have each been cited at least 57 times.
