MAXPROD - A New Index for assessment of the scientific output of an individual, and a comparison with the h-index
Year: 2007
Type: article
Abstract: A new index termed Maxprod is defined as the highest value in the set of ixci where ci is the \nnumber of citations of the i-th most cited paper of an individual. For most chemists who have \npublished about 100 papers, Maxprod is only marginally higher than h2 where h is the \nHirsch-index. A substantial difference between Maxprod and h2 is observed for atypical \ndistributions of ci
