Abstract
Is the h-index an appropriate scientometric criterion? Does it indicate all the research realities and potentials of a researcher? Is it an appropriate indicator for comparing researchers? For several reasons, the h-index cannot be a comprehensive indicator for ranking researchers since it is a confounded criterion far from reality.
