Completing h

作者:

Highlights:

• The h-index loses meaning when publication and citation numbers differ significantly.

• The h-index behaves inconsistently when external community size is rescaled.

• The h-index lacks a “conversion” factor relating paper counts and citation counts.

• We propose a novel method of “completing” the definition of the h-index.

• Our method is applicable for comparisons within and across scientific disciplines.
