R-index and AR-index:Complementing Indicators to h-index
|
Abstract:
Limitations of expanding h-index on the evaluation of individuals? performance were analyzed,involving in its less sensitivity,less differentiability and less undulation.Thus,R-index was put forward for compensating for the first two limits and AR-index,derived from R-index,for the last one.Firstly,h-index,R-index and AR-index were calculated on data of 17 Price Prize winners.Then,two indices compounds-normalization(h,R) index and equivalent(h,R) were designed to avoid the effect of two factors involved and each index was measured by coupled with the others.It showed that there were significant correlations of h-index with R-index,h-index with AR-index and R-index with AR-index.Therefore,both R-index and AR-index are good complementary indicators to h-index with function expanded.
