@Noa.Dobbins:u you can use the RISmed R package with the following code:

x <- query

res <- EUtilsSummary(x, type="esearch", db="pubmed", datetype='pdat', mindate=1900, maxdate=2018, retmax=500)
citations <- Cited(res)
citations <- as.data.frame(citations)


citations <- citations[order(citations$citations,decreasing=TRUE),]
citations <- as.data.frame(citations)
citations <- cbind(id=rownames(citations),citations)
citations $id<- as.character(citations$id)
citations $id<- as.numeric(citations$id)
hindex <- max(which(citations$id<=citations$citations))

hindex
