FiDent Research

Fi-index Tool

Compare bibliometric data before and after the simulated publication and indexing of a manuscript.
Before publication

Enter the author's current bibliometric data.

After publication and indexing

Enter the simulated bibliometric data after the manuscript is published and indexed.

Use the same bibliometric source for both sets of data.

Calculation method

Self-citation percentage = ((total citations − citations without self-citation) ÷ total citations) × 100

Fi-index = Hirsch-index × (self-citation percentage ÷ 100)

Fi-index Tool score = (Fi-index after publication − Fi-index before publication) × 10
