Abstract The ranking and categorizations of academic articles a data set have traditionally been based on the distribution their total citations. This formed basis for definition h-index. As an alternative methodology, can be performed according to average citations articles.

In their article ‘The inconsistency of the h-index’ Ludo Waltman and Nees Jan van Neck give three examples to demonstrate the inconsistency of the h-index. As will be shown below, a little extension of their examples just illustrate the opposite, a stable feature of the h-index. For starting authors it, the h-index that is, focusses on the number of articles; for experienced authors its focus s...

However, a limitation of this measure is that it considers authors in isolation and does not account for contributions through a collaborative team. To add...
