Google has the highest combined h-index of any organization

The h-index of the current people at Google adds up to 2,077, the most of any organization.

A person's h-index is the largest number h such that h of their papers each have h or more citations. Adding it up over an organization's people mixes how many people it has with how cited they are, so the second chart separates the two. The numbers come from OpenAlex. People whose OpenAlex record may be incomplete or mixed are left out, and a parent organization counts the people at its labs.

Google's 39 counted people add up to an h-index of 2,077The sum of the h-index of each organization's current people in the directory. UniversitiesCompaniesInstitutes and labs
