<h2 style="direction:ltr;text-align:justify;">An Introduction to Scientometrics System</h2>

&nbsp;

Scientometrics System is a web-based database wherein all the information regarding faculty members including their name, the institution and the research center they work in, their academic rank, their field of study and degree is stored. The scientometrics indices included in the system are as follows: the number of published papers, the total number of citations received, citations per paper, the h-index and the h-index with self-citations and book citations excluded.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="direction:ltr;text-align:justify;">Data Collection Method &nbsp;</h2>

&nbsp;

The data in the system are collected from four different databases including Scopus, ISI, Google Scholar and ISC and they are updated every week.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

If there is anything wrong with the information stored in the system, please do not hesitate to inform us through the feedback forms available on your personal page.&nbsp;

<h2 style="direction:ltr;text-align:justify;">An Introduction to Scientometrics</h2>

&nbsp;

What is scientometrics?

Here are some definitions from different sources:

&nbsp;Scientometrics can be defined as the measurement of the development of science and technology (Egghe &amp; Rousseau, 1990)

The knowledge of measuring science (Bookstein, 1995)

The study of the quantitative features and characteristics of science (Elsevier)

The quantitative mathematical study of science and technology (Diodato, 1994)

The study of the quantitative aspects of science as a discipline or economic activity (Tague-Sutcliffe, 1992)

&nbsp;

<h2 style="direction:ltr;text-align:justify;">Scientometrics in a Nutshell</h2>

&nbsp;

Scientometrics analyses and measures the quantitative (and if possible qualitative) aspects of the production, dissemination and use of scientific information with the aim of planning, policy making and achieving a better understanding of the mechanisms of scientific/academic research.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h2 style="direction:ltr;text-align:justify;">H-index (Hirsch Index)</h2>

&nbsp;

The h-index, introduced by J.E. Hirsch (professor of physics at the University of California) in 2005, is a metric to assess the entire body of scholarly output by one particular scholar/scientist; it reflects their productivity based on their publication and citation records. The h-index is based on a list of publications ranked in descending order by the times cited. &nbsp;The value of h is equal to the number of papers (N) in the list that have N or more citations (for example, a scholar with an h-index of 6 has published 6 papers, each of which has been cited by others at least 6 times; or if an author has five publications, with 9, 7, 6, 2 and 1 citations (ordered from greatest to least), then the author&rsquo;s h-index is 3, because the author has three publications with 3 or more citations)

&nbsp;

<h2 style="direction:ltr;text-align:justify;">G-index&nbsp;</h2>

&nbsp;

The g-index was introduced in 2006 by Leo Egghe (a Belgian scientist) as an improvement of the h-index; the g-index gives more weight to highly-cited articles, whereas the h-index was insensitive to it. To calculate the g-index: given a set of articles ranked in decreasing order of the number of citations that they received, the g-index is the unique largest number such that the top g articles received together at least g2 citations.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="direction:ltr;text-align:justify;">Y-index&nbsp;</h2>

&nbsp;

The y-index, introduced in 2006, considers both the quantity and quality of scientific products. It is calculated by multiplying the impact factor (as the quantitative index) by the page rank (as the qualitative index).

&nbsp;

<h2 style="direction:ltr;text-align:justify;">Mathew Value</h2>

&nbsp;

Introduced in 2006, Mathew Value is calculated by dividing the whole number of citations to a journal&rsquo;s articles over a five-year period by the total number of papers published in the journal within the same period of time.&nbsp;
