如果个人科学成就的文献计量方法可以用来预测未来的成就,那么它们就特别有意义。在这里,我们报告的结果的预测能力的h指数与其他指标相比,实证研究。我们的研究结果表明,在预测未来的科学成就方面,h指数优于其他考虑的指标(总引用数,每篇论文的引用数和总论文数)。我们讨论了h指数优越性的原因。
Bibliometric measures of individual scientific achievement are of particular interest if they can be used to predict future achievement. Here we report results of an empirical study of the predictive power of the h index compared with other indicators. Our findings indicate that the h index is better than other indicators considered (total citation count, citations per paper, and total paper count) in predicting future scientific achievement. We discuss reasons for the superiority of the h index.
