Abstract

The evolution of the Hirsch index of the Journal of the American Society of Information Science over the period 1991-2000 is studied using a variable citation window. A relative h-index is introduced.

Keywords:Hirsch index, h-index, relative h-index, case study
Subjects:B. Information use and sociology of information. > BB. Bibliometric methods.
