Generalizing the H- and G-IndicesNees Jan Van EckErasmus University Rotterdam - Erasmus School of Economics Ludo WaltmanErasmus University Rotterdam - Faculty of Economics and Business April 2008 Erasmus Research Institute of Management - ERIM, Forthcoming Abstract: We introduce two new measures of the performance of a scientist. One measure, referred to as the h alph-index, generalizes the well-known h-index or Hirsch index. The other measure, referred to as the g alpha-index, generalizes the closely related g-index. We analyze theoretically the relationship between the h alpha- and g alpha-indices on the one hand and some simple measures of scientific performance on the other hand. We also study the behavior of the h alpha- and g alpha-indices empirically. Some advantages of the h alpha- and g alpha-indices over the h- and g-indices are pointed out.
