The Universitat Jaume I has positioned eighteen researchers in six fields of knowledge (Health Sciences, Chemistry, Biology, Materials Science, Mathematics and Engineering) in the ranking of the best scientists in Spain. The Group for the Dissemination of the h-Index (DIH) is the responsible for the classification that relates the number of articles by an author with the number of times they have been cited and that allows measuring the quality, excellence and international impact of research.

Ten researchers appear in the field of Chemistry. In the area of Physical Chemistry, there are four representatives of the UJI. Three are from the Inter-University Institute of Advanced Materials (INAM): its director, Professor Juan Bisquert in fourth position and with an h-index of 100 and an Fh of 1.85; Germà Garcia Belmonte, Professor of Applied Physics, with an h-index of 61 and an Fh of 1.13; and the researcher Francisco Fabregat, with an h-index of 53 and an Fh of 0.98. The fourth UJI researcher in this area is Professor Juan M. Andrés Bort, head of the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Group, with an h-index of 58 and an Fh of 1.07.

The Area of Inorganic and Nuclear Chemistry includes Professor Eduardo Peris, head of the Organometallic Chemistry and Homogeneous Catalysis Group, with an h-index of 63 and an Fh of 1.19. Three researchers appear in the Area of Analytical Chemistry with the Professor and director of the Institute of Pesticides and Water Resources (IUPA) Félix Hernández, in fifth place and with an h-index of 65 and an Fh of 1.23; Professor Juan V. Sancho, of the research group Analytical Chemistry in Public Health and Environment, with an h-index of 56 and an Fh of 1.06; and María Ibáñez, researcher at the IUPA, with an h-index of 44 and an Fh of 0.83.

Finally, in the Area of Multidisciplinary Chemistry, Professor Santiago V. Luis, head of the Sustainable Chemistry and Supramolecular Chemistry Group, appears with an h-index of 50 and an Fh of 0.88, together with María Isabel Burguete, from the same research group, with an h-index of 45 and an Fh of 0.79, who also appear in the field of Organic Chemistry, with an h-index of 50 and 45 and an Fh of 0.98 and 0.88, respectively.

In the field of Health Sciences, the Emeritus Professor Cristina Botella is first in the Area of Clinical Psychology, with an h-index of 42 and an Fh of 1.24, and she also appears in the Area of Psychiatry with an h-index of 42 and an Fh of 0.76. In Clinical Psychology, Azucena García Palacios, researcher and director of LabPsiTec, also appears in sixth place, with an h-index of 31 and an Fh of 0.91, and in Multidisciplinary Psychology, the director of the WONT Psychosocial Prevention Group, Marisa Salanova, is in sixth place, with an h-index of 32 and an Fh of 1.14.

In the field of Biology, specifically in the Entomology Area, the researcher Josep A. Jaques Miret, coordinator of the Integrated Management of Agricultural Pests group, is in ninth place with an h-index of 27 and an Fh of 0.93. In the field of Materials Science, in second position in the multidisciplinary area is Juan Bisquert, with an h-index of 95 and an Fh of 1.76; in ninth position is Iván Mora, director of the Advanced Semiconductors Group with an h-index of 63 and an Fh of 1.17;  and Germà Garcia Belmonte with an h-index of 55 and an Fh of 1.02, all three from the INAM, and in the Area of Ceramic Materials Science, Professor Guillermo Monrós, coordinator of the Environmental Inorganic Chemistry and Ceramic Materials Group with an h-index of 23 and an Fh of 0.77. In the field of Mathematics, in the Area of Statistics and Probability, the head of the Mathematical and Statistical Modelling of Spatio-temporal Data and Data Mining group, Jorge Mateu, is in ninth position, with an h-index of 22 and an Fh of 0.96. In Engineering, in the Area of Thermodynamics is Adrián Mota, from the ISTENER-Thermal and Energy Systems Engineering group and postdoctoral researcher of the Juan de la Cierva Programme, with an h-index of 25 and an Fh of 0.78.

The DIH database currently contains information on 3,939 researchers working in Spain, of which 2,420 appear in the rankings in 178 research areas with an average h-index value of 44.

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