چکیده

An h-type index is proposed which depends on the obtained citations of articles belonging to the h-core. This weighted h-index, denoted as hw, is presented in a continuous setting and in a discrete one. It is shown that in a continuous setting the new index enjoys many good properties. In the discrete setting some small deviations from the ideal may occur. 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Discovering author impact: A PageRank perspective

This article provides an alternative perspective for measuring author impact by applying PageRank algorithm to a coauthorship network. A weighted PageRank algorithm considering citation and coauthorship network topology is proposed. We test this algorithm under different damping factors by evaluating author impact in the informetrics research community. In addition, we also compare this weighte...

PageRank for ranking authors in co-citation networks

This paper studies how varied damping factors in the PageRank algorithm influence the ranking of authors and proposes weighted PageRank algorithms. We selected the 108 most highly cited authors in the information retrieval (IR) area from the 1970s to 2008 to form the author co-citation network. We calculated the ranks of these 108 authors based on PageRank with the damping factor ranging from 0...

A proposal for calculating weighted citations based on author rank.

A recent article in EMBO reports by Bornmann & Daniel (2009) commented that “the h index [...] is already regarded as the counterpart to the [impact factor]”. Indeed, the h index (Hirsch, 2005) is increasingly being used to evaluate the achievements of individual scientists, and major citation databases—such as the Scientific Citation Index (SCI; Thomson Reuters, New York, NY, USA) and Scopus (...

The Individual Impact Index ($i^3$) Statistic: A Novel Article-Level Citation Metric

Citation metrics are analytic measures used to evaluate the usage, impact and dissemination of scientific research. Traditionally, citation metrics have been independently measured at each level of the publication pyramid, namely at the article-level, at the author-level, and at the journal-level. The most commonly used metrics have been focused on journal-level measurements, such as the Impact...
