Scholarship - Awards, Productivity, Impact
This page collects key measures of my scholarship's  impact:
  1. Most Cited Health Law Scholar
  2. Alper-Doger Scientific Index
  3. ScholarGPS
  4. H-Index
  5. I-10 Index
  6. G Index
  7. M Index
  8. ORCID & Scopus ID
  9. Citations by Courts
  10. Non-Citation Impact

Most-Cited Health Law Scholar
Professor Pope is ranked among the Top 20 most cited health law scholars in the United States. 

The systematic study was published in the Harvard Law School Petrie Flom Center's Bill of Health in 2018.

Alper-Doger Scientific Index
Professor Pope is ranked within the Top 5% "World Top 100 Law / Law and Legal Studies Scientists 2024" published by the Alper-Doger Scientific Index.

World Scientist and University Rankings 2024
Scholar-GPS Highly Ranked Scholar
Professor Pope is a ScholarGPS "Highly Ranked Scholar." Highly Ranked Scholars are the most productive authors whose works are of profound impact and of utmost quality. Pope is ranked in the top 1 percent of all legal scholars.

ScholarGPS weighs standard metrics of research productivity and impact, among other factors, to find the top scholars in their fields who are pushing their discipline to new heights. ScholarGPS includes all relevant details of over 150 million archival publications including books, book chapters, journals, conference papers and patents with over two billion citations and references.

H Index
Professor Pope's H-index is 38. That places him among the Top 10% of legal scholars. Researchers have cited Professor Pope's publications more than 4000 times.

The H-index is a widely-used and useful measure of quality and quantity. It combines productivity (i.e., number of papers produced) and impact (number of citations) into a single number. The H-index gives an estimate of the importance, significance, and broad impact of a scholar’s cumulative research contributions.

I-10 Index
Professor Pope's I-10 index is 87.

The I-10 index is the number of articles with at least 10 citations.

G Index
Professor Pope's G index is 62.

The G-Index is the largest number such that the top G articles received (together) at least G^2 citations. Professor Pope's top 50 articles have >3000 citations. This index accounts for the performance of author's top articles and helps to make more apparent the difference between authors' respective impacts.

M Index
Professor Pope's M index is 2.2.

The M-Index is defined as H/n, where H is the H-index and n is the number of years since the first published paper. Professor Pope joined academia in 2005 and began publisning in 2007 (17 years ago).   

Other Impact
The H Index does not measure blog posts and articles in publications like the ASCO Post. Moreover, since it focuses on citations, the H Index does not measure direct impact on practicing clinicians and hospital administrators. 

Many of my publications, particularly professional organization position statements, are directed at improving practice. This audience may revise institutional policies and procedures and typically even cites my work. But since the document is limited to that organization, it is not included in a publication. On the other hand, much of this research is featured in media like the New York Times.

Non-Citation Impact
While Professor Pope's publications have been cited thousands of times in academic publications, that measures only part of the impact. Professor Pope often writes directly to clinicians and healthcare facilities. Relying on Professor Pope's analysis, they revise their policies and procedures. Yet, this does not result in a citation calculated in H-index or other measures.
