从ISI数据库获得的期刊h指数和从Scopus数据库获得的期刊h指数高度一致,而期刊h指数与期刊影响因子IF可以作为相互独立的期刊评价指标;用不同学科的篇均被引次数fm作为归一化因子对h指数进行归一化处理后所得的hf指数可用于对不同学科期刊进行直接比较,hf指数越大的期刊品质越优。
The journals' h-indices from ISI and Scopus databases show high concordance, while h-index and Impact Factor (IF) belong to independent factors for journals. When average citations per paper fm for different fields are introduced as normalization factor of h-index, the normalized h-index hf will become an applicable indicator for comparison directly in different fields. The higher hf is, the more excellent the journal will be.
