Purpose - The single publication h index has been introduced by Schubert as the h index calculated from the list of citing publications of one single publication. This paper aims to look at the calculation of the single publication h index and related performance measures.
Design/methodology/approach - In this paper a web application is presented where the single publication h index and related performance measures (the single publication m index, h(2) lower, h(2) centre, and h(2) upper) can be automatically calculated for any publication indexed by Google Scholar.
Findings - The use of the application is demonstrated by means of the citation performance of two publications.
Originality/value - To the authors' knowledge this web application is the first instrument to automatically calculate the single publication h index and related performance measures based on Google Scholar data. This is a new service especially from the perspective of the related performance measures.
