研究奖项的h-index分析

Analysis of h-index for research awards

Aashay Singhal, Kamalakar Karlapalem

AI总结:

本文针对h-index因作者署名模式变化而无法有效衡量科学影响力的问题,重新应用基于单篇论文的hp-index和hp-frac-index,通过大规模实验证明hp-frac-index能提供独特排名且更好识别获奖研究人员。

摘要:

为了推进学术研究,评估和评价研究人员及其产出成果的学术影响力非常重要。引文指标是评估研究人员的普遍使用方法。在引文指标的多种变体中,由Hirsch提出的h-index已成为主要的衡量标准。最近的研究表明,由于作者署名模式的变化,h-index并不是确定科学影响力的有效指标。这可以通过使用论文的h-index来计算作者的h-index来缓解。我们表明,使用h-index的分数分配会给出更好的结果。在这项工作中,我们重新应用了两个基于单篇论文h-index的指数。这两个指数被称为:hp-index和hp-frac-index。我们在三个不同领域进行了大规模实验,涉及约100万篇出版物和3000名作者。我们还将论文的h-index与九种类似h-index的指标进行了比较。我们的实验表明,与h-index相比,hp-frac-index提供了独特的排名。在为获奖研究人员提供更高排名方面,它也比h-index表现更好。

英文摘要:

In order to advance academic research, it is important to assess and evaluate the academic influence of researchers and the findings they produce. Citation metrics are universally used methods to evaluate researchers. Amongst the several variations of citation metrics, the h-index proposed by Hirsch has become the leading measure. Recent work shows that h-index is not an effective measure to determine scientific impact - due to changing authorship patterns. This can be mitigated by using h-index of a paper to compute h- index of an author. We show that using fractional allocation of h-index gives better results. In this work, we reapply two indices based on the h-index of a single paper. The indices are referred to as: hp-index and hp-frac-index. We run large-scale experiments in three different fields with about a million publications and 3,000 authors. We also compare h-index of a paper with nine h-index like metrics. Our experiments show that hp-frac-index provides a unique ranking when compared to h-index. It also performs better than h-index in providing higher ranks to the awarded researcher.
