In the year 2005 Jorge Hirsch introduced the h index for quantifying the research output of scientists. Today, the h index is a widely accepted indicator of research performance. The h index has been criticized for its insufficient reliability - the ability to discriminate reliably between meaningful amounts of research performance. Taking as an example an extensive data set with bibliometric data on scientists working in the field of molecular biology, we compute h2 lower, h2 upper, and sRM values and present them as complementary approaches that improve the reliability of the h index research performance measurement.
