An integrated approach for main path analysis: Development of the Hirsch index as an example (2012, background): “The forward local and global main paths together, as expected, show that the field’s development evolved around empiricalworks that confirmed its usefulness (BornmannD2005, Schreiber2007a), theoretical works that expanded its mathematical foundation (Glänzel2006, EggheR2006), and new variants that b”
Informetrics at the beginning of the 21st century - A review (2008, methodology): “Lorenz curves and concentration measures are used in (Egghe & Rousseau, 2002b, 2006a) for identifying cores and for measuring the similarity between two items for information retrieval.”
h-Index: A review focused in its variants, computation and standardization for different scientific fields (2009, background): “In a related paper, Egghe and Rousseau (2006) presented an informetric model for the h-index in which the index is derivated using different power laws and hence, they could derivate some of its mathematical properties.”
An improvement of the h-index: the g-index (2006, methodology): “In [6] [8] a formula for the h-index is presented in case the data follow a Lotka power law with exponent α in the denominator.”
Theory and practise of the g-index (2006, background): “Indeed, the h-indexes in GLÄNZEL & PERSSON (2005) seemed a bit unnatural in several senses.”
What do we know about the h index? (2007, methodology): “However, as the h index has some disadvantages, just as do many other evaluative bibliometric indicators, it should, for evaluative purposes, always be applied as an addition and not as a substitute ( Egghe & Rousseau, 2006; Glanzel, 2006b) for other indicators that have become established standard”
The inconsistency of the h-index (2011, background): “Examples of this literature include the work of Burrell (2007), Egghe and Rousseau (2006), and Glänzel (2006).”
Which h-index? — A comparison of WoS, Scopus and Google Scholar (2008, unknown): “Models for the h-index have also been proposed (see [EGGHE & ROUSSEAU, 2006; GLÄNZEL, 2006; ROUSSEAU, 2006B; BURRELL, 2006]).”
Simple models and the corresponding h- and g-index (2006, background): “Recently the Hirsch-index, in short: h-index, has attracted a lot of attention in the scientific community (Ball, 2005; Bornmann & Daniel, 2005; Liang, 2006; Egghe, 2006c; Egghe & Rousseau, 2006; Rousseau, 2007).”
