The International Glaucoma Review presents its first regional survey of Glaucoma Impact.
Expertscape1 was consulted in March 2024 for the top ten list of authors per region. Through Google Scholar an “Only Glaucoma” h-index has been calculated for each of the authors. Glaucoma research truly is a global affair. Many authors change work locations across the globe. Therefore, each top 10 list was carefully reviewed and those authors that moved outside the region were only considered for their current region.
The “Only Glaucoma” h-impact does not necessarily correlate with the Expertscape rankings.
There are limitations to this, some of which are:
- Spelling and commonality of names. All known initials of users were used to perform the query.
- Limitations and criticism of Google Scholar can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Scholar.
- There are big regional differences among the top impact leaders.

Each of the many ways to measure impact has their strengths and weaknesses.6 Here, Expertscape and Google Scholar were selected. Expertscape computes the following (among others) to obtain a score:7
- Expertscape is a proprietary ranking that searches the PubMed database to find all the medical journal articles published about the topic (e.g. glaucoma) in the past ten years.
- It then assigns a score to each article, based on the article’s year of publication (recent is better), the article’s type (guidelines and reviews, for example, count more than letters to the editor), and the journal in which the article appeared (some journals are better than others). It also It assigns a score to each author of the article (first author scores higher than second author).
