Benchmarks for Australian Law Researchers’ H-Index and Citation Count Bibliometrics
Law, Technology and Humans, Vol.7(1), pp.154-174

Abstract
This article reports on Australian-based law researchers’ bibliometric measures, as recorded on Google Scholar in September 2024. It presents benchmark findings by academic position for H-index and raw citation count. In the context of the shift towards—and the need for—more nuanced and sophisticated research assessment measures, this article provides guidance to the Australian legal academy on Australian-specific data in relation to existing bibliometric measures. At the same time, it acknowledges the significant limits of using Google Scholar as a repository and the use of bibliometric measures more generally. It therefore reflects on ways of living with bibliometrics in the context of the neoliberal university and digital capitalism. Disclosure Statement: The first author serves as an Editor for Law, Technology and Humans. To maintain the integrity of the publication process and to comply with the COPE guidelines, the article submission, blind peer review, and revisions were conducted independently of the Journal’s publishing environment.
