Abstract:
Recently, the h-index (HI) has been accepted as a globally valid indicator that measures the professional achievement of scientists. Although it has been criticized in some respects, it is the most frequently used parameter as a criterion that generally measures the number and quality of publications combined. In the evaluation of the scientific publication, apart from these, the duration (years) of professional experience of the scientist and the impact/significance of the author's contribution to publications should also be used; however, HI does not take these into account. In this article, we present our recommendations for a modified HI considering these two important parameters.
