Author reports
You can view an overall report of your impact as an author on a number of different platforms, if you have created profiles for those platforms.These reports generally include your h-index, academic/international collaborations, percentages of your papers that are highly cited or published in top quartile/percentile journals, and your output benchmarked against a regional/global standard (InCitesand SciVal).
