  In their article 'The inconsistency of the h-index' Ludo Waltman and Nees Jan
van Neck give three examples to demonstrate the inconsistency of the h-index.
As will be explained, a little extension of their examples just illustrate the
opposite, a stable feature of the h-index. For starting authors it, the h-index
that is, focusses on the number of articles; for experienced authors its focus
shifts towards the citation scores. This feature may be liked or not but does
not make the h-index an inconsistent and inappropriate indicator, as the
authors claim.
