Rob J Hyndman has a very nice review on Google scholar metrics [1]. Here is his ending quote:
In summary, the h5-index is simple to understand, hard to
manipulate, and provides a reasonable if crude measure of
the respect accorded to a journal by scholars within its
field.
While journal metrics are no guarantee of the quality of a
journal, if they are going to be used we should use the
best available, and Google’s h5-index is a big improvement
on the ISI impact factor.
