Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed v-index over the existing state of the art indexing methods.
Abstract
In the current era, tremendous amount of scientific research work is published by thousands of researchers annually Different methods have been proposed for researcher productivity indexing based on quantity and quality of publications Unfortunately, none of them considered the variation among the number of citations received by a researcher for his papers In this paper, a novel method named Variation-Index (v-index) is proposed to handle this issue It will consider variation in number of citations received by the researcher's publications V-index considers the consistency in citations of researcher's publication in addition to their number of publications (quantity) and number of citations (quality) for indexing Experimental results show the effectiveness of our proposed v-index over the existing state of the art indexing methods This citation variation enhancement is quite general and can be merged in any of the existing indexing measures with ease

A new academic impact metric for evaluating geographic simulation models

TL;DR: In this paper , an academic impact evaluation method for models is proposed, where five indices are designed based on their pertinence and the analytical hierarchy process is used to calculate the index weights, and the academic impacts of models are quantified with the weighted sum method.
