The h-index has been shown to increase in many cases mostly because of citations to rather old publications. This inertia can be circumvented by restricting the evaluation to a publication and citation time window. Here I report results of an empirical study analyzing the evolution of the thus...

The Hirsch index is a number that synthesizes a researcher's output. It is the maximum number h such that the researcher has h papers with at least h citations each. Woeginger [Woeginger, G. J. (2008a). An axiomatic characterization of the Hirsch-index. Mathematical Social Sciences, 56(2),...

The Hirsch index and the Egghe index are both numbers that synthesize a researcher's output. The h-index associated with researcher r is the maximum number h such that r has h papers with at least h citations each. The g-index is the maximum number g of papers by r such that the average number...

The citation records of 26 physicists are analyzed in order to determine the modified g index gm which takes multiple coauthorship into account by fractionalized counting of the publications. The results are compared with the original g index as well as with the h index and the respective...

The h-index has been shown to have predictive power. Here I report results of an empirical study showing that the increase of the h-index with time often depends for a long time on citations to rather old publications. This inert behavior of the h-index means that it is difficult to use it as a...

Citation curves for researchers with the same h index can vary greatly in the heaviness of their top (excess citations to core papers) or the heaviness of their tail (citations to non-core papers), revealing quantitative differences across researchers. Also, promotion to the next higher h...

A large literature following Hirsch (2005) has proposed citation-based indexes that could be used to rank academics. This paper examines how well several such indexes match labor market outcomes using data on the citation records of young tenured economists at 25 U.S. departments. Variants of...

Инициатором применения наукометрии в МГУ в 1960-х годах выступил профессор В.В. Налимов. Он выдвинул информационную модель процесса развития науки. Тогда же...

Представлен взгляд автора на некоторые проблемы, «болезни» современной науки – мировой и российской – и на возможность использования наукометрии для их...

Даны определения некоторых наиболее популярных наукометрических индексов, основанных на цитируемости публикаций в научных журналах. Обсуждаются примеры их...
