Title: | Mathematical theory of the h- and g-index in case of fractional counting of authorship | Authors: | EGGHE, Leo | Issue Date: | 2008 | Publisher: | John Wiley | Source: | JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, 59(10). p. 1608-1616 | Abstract: | This article studies the h-index (Hirsch index) and the g-index of authors, in case one counts authorship of the cited articles in a fractional way. There are two ways to do this: One counts the citations to these papers in a fractional way or one counts the ranks of the papers in a fractional way as credit for an author. In both cases, we define the fractional h- and g-indexes, and we present inequalities (both upper and lower bounds) between these fractional h- and g-indexes and their corresponding unweighted values (also involving, of course, the coauthorship distribution). Wherever applicable, examples and counterexamples are provided. In a concrete example (the publication citation list of the present author), we make explicit calculations of these fractional h- and g-indexes and show that they are not very different from the unweighted ones. | Keywords: | h-index; g-index; fractional counting;authorship; joint authorship; citation analysis; bibliographic citations | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/7916 | ISSN: | 1532-2882 | DOI: | 10.1002/asi.20845 | ISI #: | 000257920900006 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2009 |
