Remarks on the paper by A. De Visscher, “what does the g‐index really measure?”

Author

  • L. Egghe

Abstract

The author presents a different view on properties of impact measures than given in the paper of De Visscher (2011). He argues that a good impact measure works better when citations are concentrated rather than spread out over articles. The author also presents theoretical evidence that the g‐index and the R‐index can be close to the square root of the total number of citations, whereas this is not the case for the A‐index. Here the author confirms an assertion of De Visscher.
