For PhDs, grants, reporting, and academic titles
Increase in the Hirsch index
Controlled increase of h-index through academic citations in Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar
We work exclusively through the official platforms Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar
What is the highest h-index you can have?
Three fields—and you'll see your limit
…
Why Isn't the Hirsch Index Growing?
The four most common reasons people come to us
There are not enough articles in the database
The h-index cannot exceed the number of articles. With 3 articles in Scopus, the maximum is 3.
Multiple profiles in the database
Articles and citations are scattered across duplicate entries and various transliterations of the surname—no single profile provides the full picture.
Few people see the artwork
Restricted access and a lack of promotion—your colleagues simply can't find your articles.
New articles are published infrequently
Without new posts, the profile «stagnates,» and the metric remains unchanged for years.
Three Steps to a Higher h-Index
You can opt for just the audit or go all the way
Academic Audit
To understand where you are right now and what's really going on
- Verification via Scopus, WoS, Google Scholar, and ORCID
- Search for Duplicates and Unlinked Articles
- A Realistic Target for the h-Index
- Written report with a plan
Correcting and Merging Profiles
When the audit uncovered missing citations
- Merging Duplicates Using Official Database Tables
- A Comparison of Different Transliterations of a Last Name
- Linking ORCID and Setting Up Google Scholar
Citation Growth Strategy
To get your work read and cited more often
- Open Access, Repositories, Preprints
- Profiles and Promotion of Research within the Scientific Community
- Plan for New Publications and Reviews for the Year
- Monthly Progress Report
How It Works
Typically, it takes between 4 and 16 months—depending on the goal, the number of existing posts, and the starting point.

How much will the h-index increase after the profile is corrected?
It depends on what the audit finds. If your articles are scattered across multiple profiles or some aren’t linked to a profile, your h-index may increase immediately after consolidation because the citations are combined. If the profile is clean, growth will come only from visibility strategies and new publications.
How long does it take?
The audit takes a few days. The time required to correct profiles depends on the database: requests for merging are processed by Scopus and Web of Science, and they determine the timeline. Overall, the process takes between 4 and 16 months—depending on the goal, the number of publications, and the starting score.
Is it possible to raise the h-index to a specific value?
We’ll set a realistic goal after the audit. But remember: your h-index cannot exceed the number of your articles in the database. If your Scopus profile has 3 articles, the maximum is 3. That’s why, along with a visibility strategy, you often need new publications.
What You Need to Get Started
Links to your profiles on Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, or ORCID, and the purpose: a grant, reporting, an academic title, or career advancement. Access to your profiles is not required—we’ll submit corrections through the databases’ official forms together with you.
Is this safe for my profile?
Yes. We use only official database tools and transparent methods to promote your work. No bots, no artificial links, and no tampering with data without your involvement.
