The objective of this article is: a) to identify Peruvian researchers with high, medium and low impact factor according to Web ofScience and Scopus databases; b) to identify the bibliometric factor with the highest influence on h-index of Peruvian researchers;c) to compare h-index between Web of Science and Scopus, at an individual and institutional level. Data were collected from Webof Science and Scopus (189 Peruvian researchers, 28 institutions on Web of Science and 33 on Scopus), between September 18-23, 2013. Then, institutional registries were created and linear regression analysis with stepwise procedure was run to identifybibliometric factors with higher influence on the h-index of Peruvian researchers. Web of Science and Scopus showed interestingsimmilarities in the h-index of Peruvian academic institutions. At individual level, documents indexed in citation database had thehighest influence on the h-index. Regression model identified bibliometric factors with higher influence on the h-index of Peruvianresearchers, however further large scale studies are needed to improve external validity.
