摘要: In this paper we propose a new family of cumulative indexes for measuring scientific performance which can be applied to many metrics, including h index and its variants (here apply it the index, h(2) Google Scholar's i10 index). These follow general principle repeating calculation same publication set. Using bibliometric data reviewer scores accepted rejected fellowship applicants examine how valid variant is compared original variant. analyses showed that result in higher correlations with than their variants. Thus, better reflect assessments by peers are useful extensions indexes. contrast other measures proposed up now, seem not only effective, but they also easy understand calculate.
