H2G Index: Supplementary Material for a Bibliometric Mentorship Indicator

Supplementary material for the article 'The H2G Index: A Novel Bibliometric Tool for Quantifying Mentorship Impact.' The dataset contains scripts and data for reproducing a proof-of-concept indicator that estimates a senior researcher's indirect impact by aggregating the h-indices of their first-author co-authors. The repository, created by Paulo Sergio Panse Silveira of LEAP - Laboratory for Evaluation and Analysis in Psychometrics, was last updated on 2026-05-19.

Use Cases

• Reproducing the H2G index calculation based on the described computational workflow.
• Analyzing agreement between different author identity curation strategies mentioned in the description.
• Applying the bootstrap-based pseudomedian computation method to other bibliometric datasets.
• Inspecting the methods for large-scale application of mentorship impact quantification.

Strengths

• Includes a documented computational workflow for full reproducibility of the published method.
• Supports transparency and independent inspection of the results from the main article.
• The method integrates data from OpenAlex, a known bibliographic database.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
