Revised h index for biomedical research

The state of h index research

How does one measure the quality of science? The question is not rhetorical; it is extremely relevant to promotion committees, funding agencies, national academies and politicians, all of whom need a means by which to recognize and reward good research and good researchers. Identifying high-quality science is necessary for science to progress, but measuring quality becomes even more important i...

Ranking Iranian biomedical research centers according to H-variants (G, M, A, R) in Scopus and Web of Science

  Background: We conducted a comprehensive bibliometrics analysis to calculate the H, G, M, A and R indicators for all Iranian biomedical research centers (IBRCs) from the output of ISI Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus between 1991 and 2010. We compared the research performance of the research centers according to these indicators.   Methods : This was a cross-sectional and descriptive-analytica...

The Normalized Revised Szeged Index

In chemical graph theory, many graph parameters, or topological indices, were proposed as estimators of molecular structural properties. Often several variants of an index are considered. The aim is to extend the original concept to larger families of graphs than initially considered, or to make it more precise and discriminant, or yet to make its range of values similar to that of another inde...
