THE HIRSCH INDEX – A MULTIPLE USE SCIENTOMETRIC INDICATOR

Journal Title: Journal of Science And Arts - Year 2013, Vol 23, Issue 2

Abstract

The paper presents an overview on Hirsch-index applications that can be found in the literature. Different possibilities of using the Hirsch-index for the assessment of the scientific output of a country, university, research institute, medicine, specialists or academic journals are presented. On the other hand we have examined the Valahia University of Targoviste (UVT) researchers’ scientific productivity and we found a lack of correlation with the scientific research activity attributed to the institution.
