    Jorge Hirsch, the creator of the h-index asserts that a “successful scientist” will have an h-index of 20 after 20 years; an “outstanding scientist” will have an index of 40 after 20 years; and a “truly unique individual” will have an index of 60 after 20 years or 90 after 30 years. Jordan Peterson has an h-index of 57.

    His academic work had been cited well over 10,000 times before he became a publicly-known figure in 2016.

    He obviously isn’t a quack in the field of psychology, by any objective measure.
