摘要:The h index has become one of the most widely used bibliometric indicators for estimating the success of researchers and predicting the impact of their work in the future. This is mainly due to its simplicity, since it is a single indicator that combines production and impact, and can easily be determined by any researcher. It also eliminates the bias caused by the long tail of citation distribution. However, this indicator has limitations, in that it fails to discriminate between researchers with different publishing habits and, as a result, it penalizes those with a more selective output characterized by a relatively low number of frequently cited documents, as opposed to authors with a high number of publications. This paper proposes a solution that would take into consideration the citations of those publications with a high probability of increasing the future h index values.
