No. Self-citations are included when calculating the h-index displayed on HeinOnline author profiles.
An author’s h-index measures their scholarly impact based on the number of publications they have authored and the citations those publications have received.
For example, an author has an h-index of 10 if they have at least 10 publications that have each been cited at least 10 times.
HeinOnline’s h-index calculation includes all qualifying citations, including instances where an author cites their own previously published work. Self-citations are not excluded from this metric.
