Issue Date: | 2021 | Publisher: | SPRINGER | Source: | Scientometrics (Print), 126 (7), p. 6137-6145 | Abstract: | This article provides an overview of the development of theh-index formalism. We begin with the original formulation as provided by Hirsch and move on to the latest versions. In this we show how theh-index formalism has evolved over time. Lesser known versions, in particular the continuous version of theh-index is brought to the front. We also discuss the Prathap-Kosmulski-Schubert successiveh-indices. As announced in the title we focus on theh-index formalism, omitting generalizations, such as theg-index, and applications in research assessment. | Notes: | Rousseau, R (corresponding author), Univ Antwerp, Fac Social Sci, B-2020 Antwerp, Belgium.; Rousseau, R (corresponding author), Katholieke Univ Leuven, Ctr R&D Monitoring ECOOM, B-3000 Leuven, Belgium.; Rousseau, R (corresponding author), Katholieke Univ Leuven, Dept MSI, B-3000 Leuven, Belgium. leo.egghe@uhasselt.be; ronald.rousseau@uantwerpen.be |
