The ability of g-index and h-index to discriminate between different types of scientists (low producers, big producers, selective
scientists and top scientists) is analysed in the area of Natural Resources at the Spanish CSIC (WoS, 1994–2004). Our results
show that these indicators clearly differentiate low producers and top scientists, but do not discriminate between selective
scientists and big producers. However, g-index is more sensitive than h-index in the assessment of selective scientists, since
this type of scientist shows in average a higher g-index/h-index ratio and a better position in g-index rankings than in the
h-index ones. Current research suggests that these indexes do not substitute each other but that they are complementary. |
