Author-level metrics attempt to quantify impact by analyzing citations arising from an individual author's publications.
Advantages: These metrics can give a more holistic idea of author impact by including a wide range of journals.
Disadvantages:These metrics are biased toward more prolific and more established authors. They also are not generalizable across disciplines.
