H-指数及其衍生指标的本质探讨

The Study on the Essence of H-index and Its Derivative Indices

  • 摘要: 如何更加客观公正地进行学术影响力评价一直以来都是一个重要且备受关注的问题。H-指数的提出,打破了原来以影响因子为单一评价指标的现状,引发了广泛的关注和讨论,并在随后数年产生了几十种衍生指标,这些工作极大地推动了科学计量学领域的深入研究和发展。该文详细介绍了H-指数及其具有代表性的23种衍生指标,以学者或单位的引用分布曲线为统一的视角,探讨了这些指标的本质,并讨论了各自的优缺点。最后对学术产出的影响力评价研究进行了展望。

     

    Abstract: How to impartially quantify the scientific impact has always been a significant issue and attracted much attentions. To solve this problem, the H-index and its dozens of derivative indicators have been proposed. In this paper, we review H-index and many of its representative variants. We apply the Citation Distribution Curve of scholars or organizations as a unified perspective to discuss the essences of these representative indices and compare their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, we give an outlook for the future research directions.
