Commenting article http://arxiv.org/abs/1108.3901 by Ludo Waltman and Nees Jan van Neck on "The inconsistency of the h-index"

Scientific paper

In their article 'The inconsistency of the h-index' Ludo Waltman and Nees Jan van Neck give three examples to demonstrate the inconsistency of the h-index. As will be explained, a little extension of their examples just illustrate the opposite, a stable feature of the h-index. For starting authors it, the h-index that is, focusses on the number of articles; for experienced authors its focus shifts towards the citation scores. This feature may be liked or not but does not make the h-index an inconsistent and inappropriate indicator, as the authors claim.
