i10-index

The i10-index was created by Google Scholar and is included in Google Scholar author profiles.

i10-index = the number of publications with 10 or more citations

g-index

The g-index is a variation of the h-index.

"The g-index g is the largest rank (where papers are arranged in decreasing order of the number of citations they received) such that the first g papers have (together) at least g2 citations" (Egghe, 2006).

Unlike the h-index, the g-index is strongly affected by highly-cited items.

e-index

The e-index is a complementary metric to the h-index. It is designed to account for citations in excess of the h-index and provides a means for differentiation between researchers with the same h-index.
