摘要

We explain, using a complete publication-citation matrix, the relation between the data needed in the calculation of an h-index and those needed in the calculation of an impact factor. It is shown that there is no need to confine oneself to the standard cases. As an illustration h-indices are calculated based on the publication and citation windows of the classical impact factor.
