Family-tree of bibliometric indices

Author

Listed:
  • Kosmulski, Marek

Abstract

Standard bibliometric indices were re-defined using a generalized concept of “successful paper”. A family-tree based upon the new definitions provides new insights into the relationships between the standard indices, and empty boxes in the family-tree may inspire design of new indices.
