Bibliometric indices
A-index
- the average number of citations received by those publications in an author's Hirsch core
AR-index
- the square root of the sum of all age-weighted citation counts over all papers that contribute to the h-index
AWCR, AWCRpA and AW-index
- the number of citations to an entire body of work, adjusted for the age of each individual paper
c-index
- Measures the quality of papers by the distance between the author and anyone who cites his/her paper. The considered pool is a pool of citations, regardless of the paper to which those citations refer the quality function is given by the collaboration distance between the citing and the cited papers
g-index
- aims to improve on the h-index by giving more weight to highly-cited articles.
If you rank an authors articles by citation counts, the g-index is the (unique) largest number so that the top g articles received (together) at least g2 citations.
h-index
- A scientist has index h if h of his/her Np papers have at least h citations each, and the other (Np − h) papers have no more than h citations each
h2-index
- if the maximal n is n = 5 then at least 5 papers have attracted 25
citations each, or more, while fewer than 6 have attracted at least 36 citations each
hc-index (contemporary h-index)
- adds an age-related weighting to each cited article, giving less weight to older articles
hI-index
- divides the standard h-index by the average number of authors in the
articles that contribute to the h-index, in order to reduce the effects
of co-authorship
hI,norm
- first normalizes the number of citations for each paper by dividing the
number of citations by the number of authors for that paper, then
calculates hI,norm as the h-index of the normalized citation counts
hI,annual
- average annual increase in the individual h-index
hmindex
-uses fractional paper counts instead of reduced citation counts to
account for shared
authorship of papers, and then determines the
multi-authored hm index based on the resulting effective rank of the papers using undiluted citation counts.
m-index
- h/n, where n is the number of years since the first published paper of the researcher
s-index
- accounting for the non-entropic distribution of citations

You really do want to make my nightmares complicated. What is the Hirsch core? Who does calculate these obscurities (to me)? I marvel at minds who can.
ReplyDeleteI may gain a ranking in the cottage industry with collage and decoupage of the bits and pieces of shredded journal articles. I'm sure they'll still be printed out when we're living on Mars.
The Hirsch core is the group of publications with a citation higher than n, so, the ones that count for the h-index.
