Mendes %J Computer Science %D 2015 %I arXiv %X Currently the ranking of scientists is based on the $h$-index, which is widely perceived as an imprecise and simplistic though still useful metric. We find that the $h$-index actually favours modestly performing researchers and propose a simple criterion for proper ranking. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1511.01545v1
