Indices to Quantify Arabic Journal Ranks and Research Output
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose two simple indices to classify journals published in the Arabic language and different Arabic researchers. These indices depend on the known impact factor and h-index. The new indices give an easy way to judge the ranking of any journal (output of any researcher) without reference to other non-Arabic journals (output of non-Arabic researchers).

I propose two simple indices to classify journals, published in Arabic language, and different researchers. These indices depend upon the known impact factor and h-index. The new indices give an easy way to judge the rank of any journal (output of any researcher) without looking for other journals (output of other researchers).

Modern management of research is increasingly based on quantitative bibliometric indices. Nowdays, the h-index is a major measure of research output that has supplanted all other citation-based indices. In this context, indicators that complement the h-index by evaluating different facets of research achievement are compelling. As an additional bibliometric source that can be easily extracted f...

متن کاملh-Indices in a university department of anaesthesia: an evaluation of their feasibility, reliability, and validity as an assessment of academic performance.
BACKGROUND The h-index is a tool that is increasingly used to measure individual research productivity. It is unknown whether its use as an evaluation of individual research impact is reliable and valid within the context of anaesthesia. METHODS We calculated the h-indices of 268 faculty members of a university department of anaesthesia using Scopus™ and Web of Science(®). Agreement between t...
متن کاملThe h index and career assessment by numbers.
Growing demand to quantify the research output from public funding has tempted funding agencies, promotion committees and employers to treat numerical indices of research output more seriously. So many assessment exercises are now conducted worldwide that traditional peer assessment is threatened. Here, we describe a new citation-based index (Hirsh's h index) and examine several factors that mi...
