Peer-Reviewed Publications

- Publication h-index=33 (The h-index considers Scopus articles published from 1995 forward) http://www.scopus.com/search/form/authorFreeLookup.url. 

The h-index is based upon the number of documents and number of citations so it measures both the productivity and citation impact of the publications. For example, an h-index of 33 means the author has at least 33 publications that were cited at least 33 times.
