Dear LIS Colleagues,

Can any bibliometerician provide information on how to calculate H Index for an organization?

Can we define H Index for an organization (Hirsch's definition from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H_Index#Calculation modified) as:

An organization has index h if h of her Np papers have at least h citations each, and the other (Np − h) papers have no more than h citations each.

What about the papers which a scientist / scholar has produced while he /she was affiliated to some other organization? Will these papers be excluded to calculate H Index of the organization where he / she is now working?

Is there any organization which provides facility to calculate organizational H Index? If yes, is this service free of fee based?
