The New Version of the h-index Taking into Account the Amount of Co-Authors and Order of Their Enumeration in a Scientific Publication
A new approach to the modification of the most popular now index of researcher’s publications, namely the h-index (“Hirsch”), which is based on the idea of taking into account the number of co-authors of this researcher in each individual of his publications, as well as the location of this researcher among his co-authors, has been formulated. The examples of the definition of this new citation parameter for various researchers on data available for each of them in the basis of the Russian Science Citation Index (RISC) have been presented. The opinion that this new citation index is able to more accurately reflect the researcher’s citation in comparison with the traditional “Hirsch”, has been suggested.
