Mester INTRODUCTION The article presents the latest ranking list of Hungarian scientists using h-index in 2023. Indexes in Scientometrics are based on citations. However, in contrast to the journal impact factor, which gives only the ranking of the scientific journals, ordered by impact factor, indexes are suitable for ranking of: • scientists, • scientific journals, • countries. An effective way to measure scientific performance is to measure citations, because if someone is cited a lot by other scientists, they are probably a better scientist. The ranking is presented primarily according to the h-index of Hungarian scientists. The h-index is the largest h number, indicating that h number of publications contain at least h citations, h-index can be determined from the following online databases: Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar and the Publish or Perish program. The h-index, also known as the Hirsch index, is based on citations. The h-index was published by physicist Jorge E. Hirsch (University of California, San Diego) in 2005: “A scientist has index h if h of his/her N articles have at least h citations each, and the other (N –h) articles have no more than h citations each” [1]. The h-index was originally proposed by Hirsch to compare individual performance only, but it can also be used to compare the h-index of: • research groups, • journals, • disciplines, • institutions, • countries. The advantage the h-index is that it combines both the: • quantity – number of articles, • quality – citations to these articles. A researcher cannot have a high h-index without publishing a considerable number of articles. The h-index favours researchers that publish a continuous stream of articles. The original h-index does not distinguish between dependent and independent citations, i.e., it also takes self-citations into account. The ranking is edited using the Google Scholar database [2]. Scientists with the same h-index are ranked by the number of citations. We present the top 34 scientists in the ranking list of Hungarian scientists with the minimum h-index 104. The article is organized as follows: • in Section 1 the Introduction is given, • in Section 2 the ranking list of Hungarian scientists in 2023 is presented, • conclusions are given in Section 3. THE LATEST RANKING LIST OF HUNGARIAN SCIENTISTS IN 2023 The latest ranking list of Hungarian scientists in 2023 is presented primarily according to the scientists h-index. The ranking has been constructed using the Google Scholar database. Scientists with matching h-index are ranked by the number of citations [3-8]. 334 Ranking of Hungarian scientists using h-index 34 scientists are included in the ranked list [9, 10]. The minimum h-index of the ranked scientists is 104. We also present the Orcid ID number of the scientists. The ranking list is the following: 1. Gábor I.
