The Modified h-Index of Scopus: A New Way in Fair Scientometrics

Functional finishing of medical fabrics using CeO2/allicin nanocomposite for wound dressings

“…In addition, it is reported that the electronic effect of cerium oxide nanoparticle arising from the local electronic structure of the surface leads to the bactericidal behaviour [13]. Also, earlier it was reported that as the processing of CeO 2 occurs below lower temperature, the action of reactive oxygen species on the cell walls of the microorganisms leads to antimicrobial property of the cerium oxide [14,15].…”

Goodbye H-index, Welcome C-score <strong></strong>

“…Additionally, the number of citations for a given paper is inflated as a multiple of the number of authors, as the same number of citations is counted on the web pages of all co-authors (Bi, 2023). Recognizing these weaknesses, there has been a proliferation of h-index modifications aimed at enhancing its performance as a measure of scientific impact (e.g., Egghe, 2008;Schreiber, 2008;Alonso, 2009;Zhang 2009;Negahdary et al 2018;Koltun & Hafner 2021). A useful and thorough review of the h-index and the debate around it in simple non-technical terms was performed by Barnes (2017).…”

“…According to Kolun & Hafner (2021) such fractionation has been discussed in the literature but not implemented at scale. Negahdary et al (2018) assigned progressively decreasing coefficients to the first/corresponding author (1), second 0.5), third (0.2) and fourth (0.1) authors. Alternatively, authors may explicitly state their percentage contribution to a given paper (Bi, 2023), but this approach remains highly subjective and susceptible to misconduct.…”

Produção científica (2011-2021) sobre políticas públicas voltadas ao Semiárido por meio de tecnologias sociais

“…Após o refinamento da amostra, os artigos repetidos foram excluídos e, da amostra restante, foram obtidas e avaliadas as seguintes características das publicações: áreas de aplicação, a frequência das publicações, principais pesquisadores e suas instituições de origem. Foi feita também a qualificação dos pesquisadores através do seu índice-h. Segundo Negahdary et al (2018), o índice-h é um índice científico que expressa a relação entre o número de documentos publicados e o número de citações, sendo, portanto, um instrumento importante para a análise do impacto científico de autores, universidades e países.…”
