Why the H-index is inadequate for researcher assessment?

Check out the #CoARA ExPECT video to see how the H-index is calculated and to understand its limitations as a way of assessing researchers.

News from the @DORAssessment page:

Brief report about a project aimed to test the effectiveness of multimedia formats for educating researchers about scholarly metrics
https://sfdora.org/2025/04/07/introducing-two-educational-videos-on-the-h-index-the-pedagogical-potential-of-multimedia-for-teaching-about-scholarly-metrics/

The team used multiple strategies to develop content and format of the videos. I found it an interesting brief read for the planning of educational resources.

Как я решил выяснить, какие технологии сегодня популярны, а получился GitHub Trend Analyzer

Как определить, какие технологии действительно востребованы, а какие существуют лишь по инерции? Стандартные метрики популярности часто показывают противоречивые результаты. Пытаясь сравнить популярность нескольких технологий разработки ПО, я столкнулся с парадоксом: данные Google Trends и количество GitHub-репозиториев показывали высокую популярность технологий, которые в реальной разработке давно не используются. Разобравшись в причинах этого несоответствия, я создал инструмент для анализа GitHub-метрик, который позволяет отфильтровать "шум" и увидеть реальную картину технологических трендов. В статье я расскажу о методологии, неожиданных находках и о том, как этот инструмент может помочь вам принимать более обоснованные технические решения.

An entertaining, informative and overall really well done video about the h-index and why you shouldn't use it, by @stefhaustein, @carey_mlchen et al.

I really will be sharing this video a lot: "What is the h-index and what are its limitations? Or: Stop using the h-index"

So this weekend was another first for me 🥇. Someone I have never met sent me a message on #researchgate, which I'm happy about because I too use researchgate to contact people 💬. Usually asking specific questions about papers.
However, this person added two articles to the message and kindly asked me to include one of them in one of my future publications.

Is this common?
