Title: | Influence of adding or deleting items and sources on the h-index | Authors: | EGGHE, Leo | Issue Date: | 2010 | Publisher: | JOHN WILEY & SONS INC 61(2). p. 370-373 | Source: | JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, 61(2). p. 370-373 | Abstract: | Adding or deleting items such as self-citations has an influence on the h-index of an author. This influence will be proved mathematically in this article. We hereby prove the experimental finding in E. Gianoli and M.A. Molina-Montenegro ([2009]) that the influence of adding or deleting self-citations on the h-index is greater for low values of the h-index. Why this is logical also is shown by a simple theoretical example. Adding or deleting sources such as adding or deleting minor contributions of an author also has an influence on the h-index of this author; this influence is modeled in this article. This model explains some practical examples found in X. Hu, R. Rousseau, and J. Chen (in press). | Notes: | Univ Hasselt, B-3590 Diepenbeek, Belgium. | Keywords: | scientometrics; citation analysis; author productivity; self citation; analytic models | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/10236 | ISSN: | 1532-2882 | DOI: | 10.1002/asi.21239 | ISI #: | 000274038400012 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2011 |
