The h-i index: a proposed new metric of individual scientific output

It is proposed that since scientific output of individual researchers is not unidimensional, its popular measure, h-index, should be augmented with a measure of the average impact of the h top cited publications, i, that is basically independent of h. It is argued that the two metrics, h and i, refl...

Sumario:It is proposed that since scientific output of individual researchers is not unidimensional, its popular measure, h-index, should be augmented with a measure of the average impact of the h top cited publications, i, that is basically independent of h. It is argued that the two metrics, h and i, reflect two separate facets of scientific output, the latter being little affected by seniority
