Title: | Real and rational variants of the h-index and the g-index | Authors: | Guns, Raf ROUSSEAU, Ronald |
Issue Date: | 2009 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV | Source: | JOURNAL OF INFORMETRICS, 3(1). p. 64-71 | Abstract: | The definitions of the rational and real-valued variants of the h-index and g-index are reviewed. It is shown how they can be obtained both graphically and by calculation. Formulae are derived expressing the exact relations between the h-variants and between the g-variants. Subsequently these relations are examined. In a citation context the real h-index is often, but not always, smaller than the rational h-index. It is also shown that the relation between the real and the rational g-index depends on the number of citations of the article ranked g + 1. Maximum differences between h, h(r) and h(rat) on the one hand and between g, g(r) and g(rat) on the other are determined. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
