A unification of three models for the h‐index

Author

Abstract

Among existing theoretical models for the h‐index, Hirsch's original approach, the Egghe‐Rousseau model, and the Glänzel‐Schubert model are the three main representatives. Assuming a power‐law relation or Heaps' law between publications and citations a unified theoretical explanation for these three models is provided. It is shown that on the level of universities, the Glänzel‐Schubert model fits best.
