We compare this index with the one where not the h-index is divided by career length but where all citation numbers are divided by career length and where we then calculate the new h-index. Both mathematical models are compared.
A variant of this second method is by calculating the h-index of the citation data, divided by article age. Examples are given. Age-independent; h-index; Career length |
