Response to comment as part of draft review

[edit]

I have moved User:Elisabete A Silva's comment here that was mistakenly added to the actual article:

"Elisabete: hi DGG many thanks for this help, I already included a link in reference 3 to his wikipedia page and now I made it more clear in the page (H-index statistics tend to be dynamic, but I don't know how to create a 'live' link to e.g. a googlescholar page that upates numbers if the stats change, if you know how to make this and could let me know I would be very thankful).

I did some work some time ago on H-index accross subjects in my area and I found that they vary a lot depending if it is a very specific area or a more generic area, if its is more quantitative or if it is more qualitative.

For instance, in some areas of Urban Planning, Civil/Environmental Engineering, the more qualitative areas tend to have lower H-index while Quantitative areas tend to have higher H/index. Neverthless, if people are in a quantitative area with a very narrow scope they tend to have lower H-index too. In the Social Sciences and Humanities I realized some time ago that an H-index of 5 tends to grant Promotion across areas, but if people are in key quantiative areas, that number increases. To have a 30 H-index is to be a outstanding researcher. The gap between these numbers and a H-index of 60 as Prof. Ckarke has is a very big jump, that I would consider, only very few are stellar reserchers. To have a i10 index of 152 as Prof. Clarke has I would say it is 'stellar-stellar'. There are very few people in that group, and I would like to do the pages of those missing.

In this group, so far I didn't find one single woman that has a Wikipedia page, so far I only found men and they all deserve these Wikipedia articules, I saw a small reference to a female researcher that I keep citing but doesn't have a Wikipedia page (so I plan to do an article for her - she did the first article on CA during the 80s calling the attention for a new modelling approach) and I don't seem to see any references to two more women in Europe that were pivotal in urban computation spatial analysis/planning and two more women in the USA seem to be also missing. At that time this was mostly a men's world, but there was a group of women doing very good work too, so I plan to their articles.

I hope I understood your request and answered it. I hope this explanations help a bit more. Once you ok my changes I plan to delete this answrer as it doesn't make sense to have it in the page."
