The Universitat Jaume I has positioned eighteen researchers in five fields of knowledge (Health Sciences, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics and Technology, Engineering and Applied Sciences) in the ranking of the best scientists in Spain. This ranking has been issued by the Group for the Dissemination of the h-Index (DIH). This classification relates the number of articles of an author with the quantity of times that he or she has been cited and allows measuring the quality, excellence and international impact of research.

In the field of Chemistry, the UJI has positioned eleven researchers. In the Area of Physical Chemistry, there are five representatives of the UJI, four of them from the Inter-University Institute of Advanced Materials (INAM) (which places this research structure at a high level of recognition), such as its director, Professor Juan Bisquert, with an h-index of 95 and an Fh of 1.79; the researcher and director of the Advanced Semiconductor Group, Iván Mora, with an h-index of 61 and an Fh of 1.15; Germà Garcia Belmonte, Professor of Applied Physics, with an h-index of 55 and an Fh of 1.04; and Professor Juan M. Andrés Bort, head of the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Group, and researcher Francisco Fabregat, both with an h-index of 53 and an Fh of 1.

In the Area of Inorganic Chemistry, Professor Eduardo Peris, head of the Organometallic Chemistry and Homogeneous Catalysis Group, stands out with an h-index of 60 and an Fh of 1.13. The Area of Analytical Chemistry includes the Professor and Director of the Institute of Pesticides and Water Resources, Félix Hernandez, with an h-index of 61 and an Fh of 1.17; Professor Juan V. Sancho, from the Analytical Chemistry Group in Public Health and Environment, with an h-index of 52 and an Fh of 1; and Professor Santiago V. Luis, responsible for the Sustainable Chemistry and Supramolecular Chemistry Group with an h-index of 38 and an Fh of 0.86, who also appears in the field of Organic Chemistry with María Isabel Burguete, from the same research group, with an h-index of 41 and an Fh of 0.84.

In the field of Health Sciences stands out the researcher and director of the LabPsiTec Azucena García Palacios. She has an h-index of 27 and an Fh of 2.07 and is positioned as the first researcher in the national field in the Area of Applied Psychology, although she is also included in the Area of Clinical Psychology. The field of Health Sciences also includes the Professor Emeritus Cristina Botella, first in the Area of Clinical Psychology, with an h-index of 35 and an Fh of 1.17; Professor Carlos M. González Aragón in the Area of Substance Abuse, with an h-index of 33 and a Fh of 1.06, and the director of the WONT Psychosocial Prevention Group, Marisa Salanova, twelfth among the researchers in Multidisciplinary Psychology with an h-index of 26 and a Fh of 1.08.

In the field of Biology, specifically in the Area of Entomology, there is the researcher Josep A. Jaques Miret, coordinator of the group "Integrated management of agricultural pests" with an h-index of 22 and an Fh of 0.81. In the field of Materials Science, the multidisciplinary area includes professors Bisquert, Mora and Garcia from the INAM, and in the Area of Ceramic Materials Science stands out the professor Guillermo Monrós, coordinator of the Environmental Inorganic Chemistry and Ceramic Materials Group with an h-index of 22 and an Fh of 0.81, and the head of the Chair in Ceramic Innovation at the UJI, Juan B. Carda, with an h-index of 21 and an Fh of 0.78. As for the field of Mathematics, in the Area of Statistics and Probability Jorge Mahiques, head of the group "Mathematical-statistical modelling of spatial-temporal data and data mining", has an h-index of 20 and an Fh of 0.95.

The IHL database currently contains information on 3,971 researchers working in Spain, 2,382 of which appear in the rankings in 178 research areas with an average value of their h-indexesof 40. The author of the study points out that researchers in the area whose h-index is greater than or equal to 0.5H1 have been included in the ranking, H1 being that of the author whose scientific production has been carried out mainly in Spain and who heads the ranking.

The h-Factor (Fh) is the value of the relation between the h-index of an author and the average value of the h-index of the researchers of his or her area with the highest h-index. It is a parameter established by the Group for the Dissemination of the h-index based on the different subareas that are established in the ranking, in order to favour the comparison between them, although some authors warn that it can be confusing.
