Abstract
This study aims to make an empirical research of h-index in the evaluation of library and information science journals. The evaluation objects are 19 kinds of library and information science core journals from the Journal of Library Science in China using citation, h-index, and relative h-index. It proved that this journal has a top h-index, relative h-index, citation, and highest citation in the library and information science core journals, and high quality authors of highest citation. The papers in the journal have a high quality and excellent academic influence.
