摘要: Although bibliometrics has been a separate research field for many years, there is still no uniformity in the way bibliometric analyses are applied to individual researchers. Therefore, this study aims set up proposals how evaluate researchers working natural and life sciences. 2005 saw introduction of h index, which gives information about researcher's productivity impact his or her publications single number (h with at least citations); however, it not possible cover multidimensional complexity performance undertake inter-personal comparisons number. This therefore includes recommendations indicators be used evaluating Our relate selection data on an evaluation based, analysis presentation results.
