Popis: This paper proposes a simple graphical mechanism for facilitating the comparison between an author’s citation count, as measured by the Euclidean Index (Perry and Perry in Am Econ Rev 106:2722–2741, 2016), and the visibility of the journals within which an author’s articles were published, as measured by the Weighted Euclidean Index (Haley in PLoS ONE, 2019a. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0212760). The goal is to help research review bodies easily grasp the distinction between these two forms of scholarly accomplishment and to also provide them a transparent way to articulate to scholars how the evaluation committee intends to balance these two modes of scholarly accomplishment. The robustness of the proposed composite index is also assessed.
