An updated h-index measures both the primary and total scientific output of a researcher

Abstract: The growing interest in scientometry stems from ethical concerns related to the proper evaluation of scientific contributions of an author working in a hard science. In the absence of a consensus, institutions may use arbitrary methods for evaluating scientists for employment and promotion. There are several indices in use that attempt to establish the most appropriate and suggestive position of any scientist in the field he/she works in. A scientist’s Hirsch-index (h-index) quantifies their total effective pu… Show more

“…Hirsh (2010) also proposes a more restrictive version called -index, normalized to domain or age. Other variants are designed with application-specific goals (Bucur et al 2015). All-in-all, h -index based measures are measures to analyze the productivity of researchers, but do not allow for the in-depth analysis of production, in opposition to main path analysis approaches.…”

“…Hirsch [20] proposes a more restrictive version calledh-index, normalized to domain or age. Other variants could be mentioned (such as Bucur et al [6]), but each is designed with specific goals. All-in-all, h-index based measures are measures to analyze the productivity of researchers, but do not allow for the in-depth analysis of production, in contrary to main path analysis approaches.…”
