bibliometrics - If a paper cites a work and its translation, is it counted as two citations for calculating h-index?


If a bibliography mentions a work two times, once in its original and once in its translation, how does this count in the author's H-index?


E.G.:



  1. Everyman, J. (2000), A work on citations, Cambridge.


  2. Everyman, J. (2001), Un lavoro sulle citazioni, Roma.


The (2) is the italian translation of the (1). This means that the author gets 2 citations, but they actually refer to only 1 work. How does this affect citation count and metrics?
