Probing Multivariate Indicators for Academic Evaluation
We combine the Integrated Impact Indicator (I3) and the h-index into the
I3-type framework and introduce the publication vector X = (X1, X2, X3) and the
citation vector Y = (Y1, Y2, Y3) , the publication score I3X=X1+X2+X3 and the
citation score I3Y=Y1+Y2+Y3, and alternative indicators based on percentile
classes generated by the h-index. These multivariate indicators can be used for
academic evaluation. The empirical studies show that the h-core distribution is
suitable to evaluate scholars, the X1 and Y1 are applied to measure core impact
power of universities, and I3X and I3Y are alternatives of journal impact
factor (JIF). The multivariate indicators provide a multidimensional view of
academic evaluation with using the advantages of both the h-index and I3.Comment: Journal of Library Science in China (in press). This is the English
