Abstract
Recently Woeginger [Woeginger, G. H. (2008-a). An axiomatic characterization for the Hirsch-index. Mathematical Social Sciences. An axiomatic analysis of Egghe's g-index. Journal of Informetrics] introduced a set of axioms for scientific impact measures. These lead to a characterization of the h-index. In this note we consider a slight generalization and check which of Woeginger's axioms are satisfied by the g-index, the h(2)-index and the R2-index.

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesAn index to quantify an individual's scientific research output
11,535 Citations2005J. E. Hirsch
The index hbar, defined as the number of papers of an individual that have citation count larger than or equal to the citation count of all coauthors of each paper, is proposed as a useful index to characterize the scientific output of a researcher that takes into account the effect of multiple authorship.

It is shown that the g-index inherits all the good properties of the h-index and better takes into account the citation scores of the top articles and yields a better distinction between and order of the scientists from the point of view of visibility.

The R- and AR-indices are introduced and it is proposed the pair (h, AR) as a meaningful indicator for research evaluation and a relation characterizing the h-index in the power law model is proved.
Mathematical Social SciencesAn axiomatic characterization of the Hirsch-index
147 Citations2008Gerhard J. Woeginger
An axiomatic characterization of the Hirsch-index in terms of three natural axioms is presented, which is a well-known index for measuring and comparing the output of scientific researchers.
ScientometricsAn axiomatic characterization of the ranking based on the h-index and some other bibliometric rankings of authors
103 Citations2009Thierry Marchant
A formal framework in which rankings can be axiomatically characterized is proposed and it is argued that such analyses can help the user of a ranking to choose one that is adequate in the context where she/he is working.

An axiomatic characterization of the g-index in terms of three natural axioms is given, which is an improvement of the Hirsch-index.
