h-index: measures the cumulative impact of a researcher's output by looking at the amount of citation their work has received.g-index: Aims to improve on the h-index by giving more weight to highly-cited articles.

hI-index, hI-norm, hm-index: Three different ways to take account of shared authorship.

AWCR, AW-index, AWCRpA: Three different ways to take account of the age of each individual paper.e-index: Used to differentiate between scientists with similar h-indices but different citation patterns.
