A summary of my twenty years of research according to Google Scholars

I am David Pardo, a researcher from Spain working mainly on numerical analysis applied to geophysics. I am 40 years old, and over a decade ago, I realized that my performance as a researcher was mainly evaluated based on a number called \h-index". This single number contains simultaneously information about the number of publications and received citations. However, dif- ferent h-indices associated to my name appeared in di erent webpages. A quick search allowed me to nd the most convenient (largest) h-index in my case. It corresponded to Google Scholars. In this work, I naively analyze a few curious facts I found about my Google Scholars and, at the same time, this manuscript serves as an experiment to see if it may serve to increase my Google Scholars h-index
