Anne-Wil Harzing : H-B Index : Publish or Perish


h-b index
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-b_index>


The h-b-index is an extension of the h-index suggested in 2005 by Jorge E. 
Hirsch of the University of California, San Diego to quantify the 
scientific productivity of physicists and other scientists based on their 
publication record. The h-b-index developed by Michael Banks of the Max 
Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Germany, takes the index 
further by evaluating the impact of compounds used in solid-state physics 
and scientific topics in general.

The h-b-index is defined in the same manner as the h-index, but is based 
on a topic (or compound) search instead of a scientists name. The h-index 
defined by J. Hirsch is:

         A scientist has index h if h of his/her Np papers have at least h 
citations each, and the other (Np - h) papers have at most h citations 
each.

For the case of a topic it is useful to define the h-b index in terms of 
the number of years, n as h = nm If the h-b index is linear with the 
number of years, then m is given as the gradient. In this respect, a 
compound or topic with a large m and h-b index can be defined as a hot 
topic.

Online web programs are available to directly calculate a scientist's 
M-number and H-index values, such as ScHolarIndex and Publish and Perish.

Publish or Perish
oWhat Publish or Perish is for

oDownload and install Publish or Perish

Are you applying for tenure, promotion or a new job? Do you want to 
include evidence of the impact of your research? Is your work cited in 
journals which are not ISI listed? Then you might want to try Publish or 
Perish, designed to help individual academics to present their case for 
research impact to its best advantage.

Publish or Perish is a software program that retrieves and analyzes 
academic citations. It uses Google Scholar to obtain the raw citations, 
then analyzes these and presents the following statistics:


oTotal number of papers

oTotal number of citations

oAverage number of citations per paper

oAverage number of citations per author

oAverage number of papers per author

oAverage number of citations per year

oHirsch's h-index and related parameters

oEgghe's g-index

oThe contemporary h-index

oThe age-weighted citation rate

oTwo variations of individual h-indices

oAn analysis of the number of authors per paper.


The results are available on-screen and can also be copied to the Windows 
clipboard (for pasting into other applications) or saved to a variety of 
output formats (for future reference or further analysis). Publish or 
Perish includes a detailed help file with search tips and additional 
information about the citation metrics.
