The Hirsch Index (H-index) is an instrument for evaluating the scientific results of researchers and academic institutions and a criterion for quantifying their scientific impact by citations count. The DBLP is the largest database indexing scientific papers in the fields of computer science and electronics.
The position a university takes in the ranking is based on a sum of the H-index values of all the top computer scientists affiliated with the institution. To be considered a top scientist, their Hirsch Index has to be at least 40, provided that most of their scientific work is in the field of informatics, computer science, and electronics and is indexed in the DBLP.
