“…[ 18 ] Many have been proposed to weigh more highly the core citations (articles whose citations are greater than the h index ). [ 19, 20 ] However, most of the indices are highly correlated with the standard h index ( R 2 > 0.8) and are therefore redundant. [ 18 ]…”

The scope of chemical engineering continues to evolve and has become ever more multifaceted. It encompasses traditional fields like polymers, thermodynamics, transport processes, control, and environmental science, but has expanded to include biotechnology, biomedical, food technology, materials, and numerical techniques like artificial neural networks and discrete element methods. In fact, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) combines chemical engineering and materials in the same evaluation group to award competitive funding for the Discovery Grant. Prof. Leo Behie's career reflected the change in the scope of chemical engineering. In the 1970s and early 1980s, Prof. Behie's research included hydrodynamics of fluidized beds and deriving the kinetics of the Claus reaction. In the late 1980s and into the 1990s, he contributed to biotechnology. In the 2000s and 2010s, his areas of expertise related to biomedical engineering comprising stem cell research and a focus on Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases. The common denominator for most of his research was reactor technology. In 2014, Prof. Behie quipped that chemical engineering was dead and many North American departments shared this tenet and added various scientific fields to recognize the emerging synergies. Here, we show that chemical engineering is a vibrant and growing field. We demonstrate in what way it is changing and describe how NSERC evaluates research dossiers for the Discovery Grants. We describe the relationship between the hindex and the number of citations and confirm that bibliometrics has only a minor role in the Discovery Grant award.

“…These parameters, although widely used, have drawbacks which lead to results that are sometimes not meaningful (see, e.g., ( Brito and Navarro, 2021;Kreinovich et al, 2021;Mohammed et al, 2021 ) published this year (2021) and Section 4 ). For this reason, many other indices have been proposed (see, for example, Bollen et al (2009) ).…”

We implement the PaperRank and AuthorRank indices introduced in [Amodio & Brugnano, 2014] in the Scopus database, in order to highlight quantitative and qualitative information that the bare number of citations and/or the h-index of an author are unable to provide. In addition to this, the new indices can be cheaply updated in Scopus, since this has a cost comparable to that of updating the number of citations. Some examples are reported to provide insight in their potentialities, as well as possible extensions.
