“…The scientific data of any primary scientometric research are represented by all authors, their studies, their bibliographies and citations they receive. [2] The individual scientific output has been, in recent years, assessed with the aid of various indices, all aiming at quantifying the academic merit of a particular researcher [3,4]. Among these indices, one of the most used is the "hindex" proposed by Jorge E. Hirsh has an h-index of 20 is irrelevant if some of his most cited articles have 50, 100 or 500 citations.…”

In the individual assessment of a scientific performance, five scientometric indices have been used most: the h-index, the index g, the h-major index, the contemporary h-index and the normalized h-index. We propose an alternative index ("Index h-fac"), which considers positively the participation of the first author and that, by having a dynamic characteristic, continuously monitors his/her performance and is easily adaptable to particular or individual situations from different research groups. Results from the geometric mean between the original hindex as proposed by Hirsh and a correction factor ("fac", "first author commitment") and, in turn, this value is divided by the mean interval (
