We propose a new index to evaluate research contribution in a way that qualitatively improves on the h-index.
Scientific contribution indexes, such as the h-, g-, A-, and R-indexes, typically assess contribution on the basis
of published works, and particularly the number of times that those works are cited. As a result,
well-experienced researchers and those who have many collaborators tend to be ranked more highly,
independent of contribution. To address this, we suggest discounting cross-citations and then using the h-index
formula on the modified citation counts. In this way, the index value will not be so heavily weighted against
young researchers, who are likely to have fewer collaborators. This index is called the hMC
-index because it is
similar to the h-index but also considers mutual citations. We additionally propose a citation map whose
structure is based on the hMC
-index.

INTRODUCTION
A wide variety of indexes for rating research contributions
by individuals have been suggested, including the h- and
g-index. These indexes rely, however, on quantitative
analysis of raw citation numbers of prior publications, and
situations that seem qualitatively different, such as when a
large number of papers are cited within a short time and
when a small number of papers are cited over a long time,
will yield the same index value if the number of citations is
![Page 2: Research Evaluation Contribution Index h -Indexbeta.garj.org/garjeti/pdf/2014/December/Akira and...Journal Impact Factor is an evaluation index proposed for the evaluation of academic](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050514/5f9e9103ece79005a4323597/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)

the same. It is difficult to calculate the exact importance of
each paper by using only conventional citation analysis.
Consequently, the use of conventional rating indexes may
result in high evaluations of papers that are seldom
referenced anymore but were frequently cited in the past.
We previously proposed the GV-index (Growing Degree
of Research Area and Variance Values-Index) to address
this problem (Otsuki & Kawamura 2013). The GV-index is
computed by principal component analysis to obtain a
value by the PageRank algorithm, which takes into
account growth in the research area and its variance.
However, the GV-index does not account for how
cross-citation can elevate citation counts. Because the h-,
g-, A-, and R-indexes are calculated from only the number
of citations, none of them account for cross-citations. This
means that the contributions of young researchers, who
have fewer collaborators, are likely to be undervalued in
the indexes.
This study proposes a new type of research contribution
ranking index that is an extension of the h-index and
considers mutual citation. We call this the hMC
-index
(h-index considering Mutual Citations). Specifically, this
proposed index is calculated by discounting
cross-citations and then calculating the h-index in the
usual way (detailed below). Accounting for mutual citations
will tend to correct the bias against new researchers, who
are likely to have fewer collaborators than established
researchers do. We also propose system to visualize a
researcher’s network by using the hMC
-index.

Impact Factor
Journal Impact Factor is an evaluation index proposed for
the evaluation of academic journal importance (Garfield,
1955a, 1995b; Garfield & Welljams-Dorof 1992). The
Impact Factor of a journal is calculated from the number of
citations within the last three years of papers published in
that journal. Journal Impact Factor was the first research
contribution rating index, but it is not intended to evaluate
individual researchers.
Research Contribution Evaluation Indexes
Impact Factor is an evaluation of a journal, not of an
individual researcher. Scientific contribution evaluation
indexes that are concerned with individuals are shown in
the next section.
h-index
The h-index (Hirsch, J.E. 2007; Bornmann, Lutz et al.
2007) was introduced by Hirsch. It is calculated by taking
into account the balance between the number of
publications and the number of citations per publication. A
researcher has an h-index of i if i of his or her published
papers have at least i citations and i is the maximum value
for which this is true. For example, an h-index of 7
indicates that an author has 7 publications that have each
received 7 citations or more, as shown in Table1.

g-index
The g-index was proposed by Egghe (2006) as a
modification of the h-index. The g-index is calculated as
follows. First, Rank2 is calculated as shown in Table2. Next,
the cumulative number of papers citing the papers,
ordered by decreasing number of citations, is calculated.
Finally, the g-index is the largest number i of papers that
together have received i2 or more citations.

A-index
The A-index was proposed by Jin (2006) as a modification of the h-index. The A-index is the average number of citations
received by the h most cited papers, where h is the value of the h-index, as shown in Table3.

AR-index
The AR-index (Jin et al. 2007) is an adaptation of the
R-index. The age-dependent R-index, denoted by AR, is
given by the following equation:
�� = ������� (1)
Where h is the h-index, citj is the number of times that
paper j was cited, aj is the number of years since
publication of article j, and articles are taken in order of
decreasing number of citations.
hg-index
The hg-index was proposed by Alonso (2010). The
hg-index is calculated as the geometric mean of the
h-index and the g-index.
ℎ� = �ℎ ∙ �(2)
IQp
Calculation of the IQp (Antonakis & Lalive 2008) is more
involved than that of the h-index or g-index. This index is
intended to be more sensitive and is computationally much
more complicated. The algorithm to calculate IQp is the
following.
��� = ������������� + �� ∗ � ∗ (����� + 1)2 ∗ ����� (3)
Here, citations are total numbers of citations of the
researcher, papers are the total numbers of papers, and

age is the number of years that the research has been
active.
Problems with existing indexes
The research contribution indexes shown in the section
above, like other conventional measures, depend on
published works, and because these indexes are
calculated from only the number of citations, these values
tend to be higher for researchers with more years of
experience and those who have a large number of
collaborators. This imparts a bias against young
researchers, who are likely to have fewer collaborators.
Concept
In order to solve the problem discussed in the previous
sections, we propose a new index calculated by
discounting for cross-citations after calculating the h-index.
In this way, we will be able to calculate a less biased
research evaluation index. We suggest this concept is
reasonable because the h-index is calculated using only
the number of citations receive
METHOD
The flow of the method to calculate the hMC
-index is shown here.
(1) Choose who to calculate the index for and a research area.
In this study, we used the Web of Science service (Thomson Reuters 2014) as the Journal database. The research area
is chosen from the list of research areas available in the service.
(2) Find the h-index of the chosen person and the papers used to achieve that index, which will be called the basis
papers (Table5).

(3) Find cross-citations between the basis papers.
We show an example of cross-citations in Table6, where Paper2 cites Paper1 and Paper4. Cross-citations are identified by
using bibliographic information.

(4) As shown in Table7, weight the value of each basis paper to the multiplicative inverse of the number of
cross-citations plus one. For example, when the number of cross-citations for a paper is 2, the weighted value is 1/3.

hMC
-index → 4.44
Because there is no possibility of cross-citation with a list of fewer than two papers, the hMC
-index is exactly the h-index
when the h-index is 1. The steps of the algorithm can be formulized as (4).
ℎ#$ =� 1�% + 1�%� (4)
Here, h is the h-index; and ri is the number of basis papers that cite basis paper i. In (5) below, Pi is the cited papers (ci) of
the chosen author; and Paud is the list of papers sorted in descending order of number of citations received (including from
the chosen author). Paud is written as follows: P()* = +, (� ), ,.(�.),⋯ , ,0(�0)1for� ≥ �. ≥ ⋯ ≥ �0 . (5)

We show an example of a network map based on the hMC

the hMC
-index of each author is displayed in the appropriate node, with the size of the node increasing with hMC

Because the calculation method of the GV-index is
different from other indexes, it is not evaluated. First, we
fetched papers from the journal database system by using
the query "Chemistry, Multidisciplinary; Chemistry,

Discussion
Figures 2–6 show the data from Tables 10–14 along with
number of papers and average number of citations. First,
because Stoller has only two papers, the average number
of citations was high (39). Because the A-index is, by
design, almost the same as the average number of
citations, the A-index will not be considered further. The
values of the h-, g-, and R-indexes increased with number
of papers among the examined authors. For example,
Brabec has the highest number of papers and the highest
score on most indexes. It can be seen that the values of
the h-, g-, and R-indexes are directly proportional to
number of publication papers. In contrast, although the
difference in h-index between Ma and Brabec was 6, the
difference in hMC
-index between them was smaller, at only
2.5. Further, although Balandin was ranked third on the

The query "Public Administration" produced a set of
36,252 papers, and performing the same analysis on this
set gave qualitatively similar results.
CONCLUSIONS
In this study, we pointed out that because typical research
contribution indexes are based on published works, these
values tend to be higher for researchers with abundant
experience and those who have many collaborators. We
confirmed this by experiment. The hMC
-index is proposed
as a remedy. In the hMC
-index, the h-index is reduced by
weighting papers according to the number of
Cross-citations. In this way, we created an index that does
not, by its nature, favor older researchers and those with a
larger number of collaborators. This allows fairer treatment
of young researchers, who are likely to have fewer
collaborators. We confirmed that hMC
-index is less
correlated to career length than the h-index through this
evaluation experiment. We hope that people will find the
hMC
-index helpful for evaluating researchers.
