Title: | The R- and AR-indices: Complementing the h-index | Authors: | Jin, Bihui Liang, Liming ROUSSEAU, Ronald EGGHE, Leo |
Issue Date: | 2007 | Publisher: | Science Press, co-published with Springer-Verlag GmbH | Source: | CHINESE SCIENCE BULLETIN, 52(6). p. 855-863 | Abstract: | Based on the foundation laid by the h-index we introduce and study the R- and AR-indices. These new indices eliminate some of the disadvantages of the h-index, especially when they are used in combination with the h-index. The R-index measures the h-core’s citation intensity, while AR goes one step further and takes the age of publications into account. This allows for an index that can actually increase and decrease over time. We propose the pair (h, AR) as a meaningful indicator for research evaluation. We further prove a relation characterizing the h-index in the power law model. | Keywords: | h-index A-index R-index AR-index g-index performance evaluation power law;h-index; A-index; R-index; AR-index; g-index; performance evaluation; power law | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/1787 | ISSN: | 1001-6538 | DOI: | 10.1007/s11434-007-0145-9 | ISI #: | 000246677400020 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2008 |
