title={An improvement of the h-index: the g-index},
author={Leo Egghe},
year={2006}
}For a set of papers, ranked in decreasing order of the number of citations that they received, the h-index is the (unique) highest number of papers that received h or more citations. In the references [1,2,7,9] one describes some advantages of this new scientometric indicator: It is a simple single number incorporating both publication (quantitiy) and citation (quality or visibility) scores and hence has an advantage over these single separate measures and over measures such as "number of…

It is shown that the g-index inherits all the good properties of the h-index and better takes into account the citation scores of the top articles and yields a better distinction between and order of the scientists from the point of view of visibility.

The h-index counts only those papers that are significant enough according to their number of citations, following the widely accepted idea that not all papers should count equally.
The e-Index, Complementing the h-Index for Excess Citations
- Computer SciencePloS one
- 2009
The e-index, where e 2 represents the ignored excess citations, in addition to the h 2 citations for h-core papers, is proposed, a necessary h-index complement, especially for evaluating highly cited scientists or for precisely comparing the scientific output of a group of scientists having an identical h- index.
Fractionalized counting of publications for the g-Index

Here it is proposed that in the specification of the new gmindex the articles are counted fractionally not only for the rank but also for the average, so the resulting gm-index is always smaller than the original g-index.

The objective of this paper is to show that the already existing h((3)) indicator, designed after the h-index and Kosmulski's h((2))-index, has some advantages with respect to the classical h- or…

Do we need the h index and its variants in addition to standard bibliometric measuresq
- Computer Science
- 2009
This study investigates whether there is a need for the h index and its variants in addition to standard bibliometric measures (SBMs) and proposes the use of any pair of indicators relating to the number of papers in a researcher's productive core as a meaningful approach for comparing scientists.

SummaryWe suggest that a h-type index - equal to h if you have published h papers, each of which has at least h citations - would be a useful supplement to journal impact factors.
