H指数吸引了科学计量学家和文献计量学家的想象力，以至于人们现在几乎可以将这一学科的历史分为前赫希时期和后赫希时期。除了它的学术价值外，它现在还被用作对个人、研究人员和机构进行研究评估的工具，甚至用于比较期刊和国家的业绩。自从它被引入以来，已经提出了许多Hirsch类型的变体来克服原始索引的明显局限性。本文利用数学建模的思想，提出了另一种模拟h指数，它可以补充h指数，使其具有更好的分辨率。
The h-index has captured the imagination of scientometricians and bibliometricians to such an extent that one can now divide the history of the subject virtually into a pre-Hirsch and a post-Hirsch period. Beyond its academic value, it is now used as a tool for research assessment of individuals, research faculties and institutions and even for comparing performance of journals and countries. Since its introduction, many Hirsch-type variants have been proposed to overcome perceived limitations of the original index. In this paper, using ideas from mathematical modeling, another mock h-index is proposed which may complement the h-index and give it better resolving power.
