Google H5-Index and H5-Median
The h-index of a publication is the largest number h such that at least h articles in that publication were cited at least h
times each. For example, a publication with five articles cited by, respectively, 17, 9, 6, 3, and 2, has the h-index of 3.
The h-core of a publication is a set of top cited h articles from the publication. These are the articles that the h-index is
based on. For example, the publication above has the h-core with three articles, those cited by 17, 9, and 6.
The h-median of a publication is the median of the citation counts in its h-core. For example, the h-median of the
publication above is 9. The h-median is a measure of the distribution of citations to the articles in the h-core.

The type of deal, as well as the type and number of “members” or “sites” participating in these deals, varies greatly. Also the way in which these members and sites
are administrated in our contracts can vary considerably. For example in a consortium deal we count institutions as “members”, which in themselves may represent
many locations/schools/libraries. Therefore the numbers given in the tables in this section should be viewed as an indication of distribution of the title through online
deals.
The figures provided under “Institutions with exposure via online deals” refer to institutions that have exposure to the journal as part of an online deal with Springer
(consortia, multi-site licenses, and site licenses). This does not mean that these institutions had fully paid institutional subscriptions and/or are paying the equivalent
of the list price to obtain access to the journal under an online deal arrangement.
