‘Discometrics’, a long neglected area of informetric studies was revisited in a network context. Cooperation between jazz musicians was analysed using the recent ‘Hirschian’ concepts of network informetrics. Partnership Ability Index (φ) was found to be a useful measure to characterize...

In this paper a generalisation of the h-index and g-index is given on the basis of non-negative real-valued functionals defined on subspaces of the vector space generated by the ordered samples. Several Hirsch-type measures are defined and their basic properties are analysed. Empirical...

It was demonstrated that the phenomenon of ‘Sleeping Beauties’ in scientific literature is a rather useful and instructive model in studying the mechanisms of scientific information flow. On the basis of the several idiosyncratic behavioral patterns in the citation histories of Sleeping...

A theoretical model of the dependence of Hirsch-type indices on the number of publications and the average citation rate is tested successfully on empirical samples of journal h-indices.
