• The rate of growth in scientific publication and the decline in coverage provided by Science Citation Index (2010, background): “The Hirsch Index (Hirsch 2005) is one example of a science indicator derived from SCI.”
• The AR-index: complementing the h-index (2007, background): “© 2005-2007, International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics (ISSI) 6 The h-index was introduced by J. E. Hirsch (2005) as an indicator for lifetime achievement.”
• Comparison of the Hirsch-index with standard bibliometric indicators and with peer judgment for 147 chemistry research groups (2005, background): “The first ranking based on the h-index (Hirsch 2005; Ball 2005), a list of prominent physicists with Ed Witten at the top, suggests a similar simplicity for the evaluation of scientific performance as in the case of a football (soccer) league.”
