| Popis: | The h-index is a popular bibliometric performance indicator. We discuss a fundamental problem of the h-index. We refer to this problem as the problem of inconsistency. There turns out to be a very simple bibliometric indicator that has similar properties as the h-index and that does not suffer from the inconsistency problem. We argue that the use of this indicator is preferable over the use of the h-index. |
