Enter the h-index and the number of years since the first published paper into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the M-Index. 

M-Index Formula

MI = h/n

Variables:

  • MI is the M-Index ()
  • h is the h-index
  • n is the number of years since the first published paper

To calculate M-Index, divide the h-index by the number of years since the first published paper.

How to Calculate M-Index?

The following steps outline how to calculate the M-Index.

  1. First, determine the h-index. 
  2. Next, determine the number of years since the first published paper. 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = MI = h/n.
  4. Finally, calculate the M-Index.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

h-index = 450

number of years since the first published paper = 800
