h-index and Author Impact Factor of Neurosurgical Researchers

The dataset provides the h-index and Author Impact Factor (AIF) from 2015-2019 and 5-Year (AIF) of 300 neurosurgical authors. The h-index was retrieved from Scopus in September 2020. The data required to calculate the AIF was retrieved from Scopus from September 2020 to April 2021. There are three groups of neurosurgical authors: (1) the 100 authors with the greatest number of articles of all time within general neurosurgical journals (“Experienced”); (2) the 100 authors with the greatest number of articles during the 2015-2019 period within general neurosurgical journals (“Trending ”); and (3) the 100 Post Graduation Year 7 (PGY 7) neurosurgical residents with the highest h-index (“Amateur”). Author's names were replaced by numbers. Forty-one authors belong to both Experienced and Trending Groups, having their identification number duplicated.

本数据集涵盖300名神经外科作者的2015-2019年h指数、作者影响因子（Author Impact Factor, AIF）及5年期作者影响因子（5-Year AIF）。其中，h指数于2020年9月从Scopus数据库检索获取；计算AIF所需的相关数据，则于2020年9月至2021年4月期间从Scopus数据库调取。

本数据集包含三类神经外科作者群体：(1) 100名在综合神经外科期刊总发文量最高的作者，命名为"资深组（Experienced）"；(2) 100名2015-2019年间在综合神经外科期刊发文量最高的作者，命名为"新锐组（Trending）"；(3) 100名h指数最高的毕业后第7年（Post Graduation Year 7, PGY 7）神经外科住院医师，命名为"新手组（Amateur）"。

所有作者姓名均已替换为数字编号。另有41名作者同时隶属于资深组与新锐组，存在重复的标识编号。
