Resumen

ARENCIBIA JORGE, Ricardo  y  CARVAJAL ESPINO, Rachel. H, G and R indices: their use to identify leader authors in the communication area during the period 2001-2006 . ACIMED [online]. 2008, vol.17, n.4. ISSN 1024-9435.

The current paper studied the application of H, G and R indices, based on citation analysis, for the identification and characterization of leader authors in a scientific discipline. The communication area was selected as an experimental research field. All the world scientific production on the subject, published in mainstream journals during the period 2001-2006, was retrieved. The 60 most productive authors were identified, and the H, G and R indices were calculated for each of them. The statistical distribution of the indicators, as well as their usefulness in the research assessment processes were analyzed.

Palabras clave : Scientometrics; bibliometric indicators; citation analysis; H index; G index; R index; leader authors; communication.
