Slovenia’s Current Research Information System (SICRIS) currently hosts 86,443 publications with citation data from 8359 researchers working on the whole plethora of social and natural sciences from 1970 till present. Using these data, we show that the citation distributions derived from...

Based on the rank-order citation distribution of e.g. a researcher, one can define certain points on this distribution, hereby summarizing the citation performance of this researcher. Previous work of Glänzel and Schubert defined these so-called “characteristic scores and scales” (CSS),...

We introduce two new measures of the performance of a scientist. One measure, referred to as the hα-index, generalizes the well-known h-index or Hirsch index. The other measure, referred to as the gα-index, generalizes the closely related g-index. We analyze theoretically the relationship...

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...

This paper presents an application of new measures of research excellence, namely Hirsch's index (2005) and derived indexes. It gives a ranking of French departments of Economics, departments of Management and Business schools based on the quality of the academic environment offered by these...

On mesure le niveau académique de la recherche française en économie et en gestion des écoles, facultés et laboratoires CNRS en utilisant un critère mesurant la qualité de la recherche, l'indice h de Hirsch, et son dérivé, l'indice g d'Egghe. Nous exposons les propriétés de ces...

This paper analyzes several well-known bibliometric indices using an axiomatic approach. We concentrate on indices aiming at capturing the global impact of a scientific output and do not investigate indices aiming at capturing an average impact. Hence, the indices that we study are designed to...

This article investigates citations metrics as an institutional phenomenon from two perspectives: first it tries to articulate the role of citation metrics within a Gramscian framework; second it compares citation patterns from orthodox and heterodox economic journals to gain insights on the...
