NEW hm-INDEX TO EVALUATE THE SCIENTIFIC OUTPUT OF RESEARCHERS
Indices for evaluation of scientific autput of the researcher are divided into two groups: quantative indices and qualitative indices. The first group of indices reflects the productivity of a researcher and inform about the number of published articles. The second group of indices depict the influence of the papers in the h-core. In this paper, a new hm-index reflecting productivity of a researcher and holding both properties of h and m indices is proposed. (p. 68-73)
Keywords: h-index, m-index, g-index, hg-index, g2-index, hm-index.
