TL;DR
A pair of consistent rankings are presented (impact factor for the journals and total number of citations for the authors) and an axiomatic characterization of these rankings is provided.
Abstract

Keywords
Computer ScienceDecision Sciences
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.
ScienceCitation Analysis as a Tool in Journal Evaluation
2,760 Citations1972Eugene Garfield
In 1971, the Institute for Scientfic Information decided to undertake a systematic analysis of journal citation patterns across the whole of science and technology.
ScientometricsTheory and practise of the g-index
2,302 Citations2006Leo Egghe
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.
Journal of DocumentationWhat do citation counts measure? A review of studies on citing behavior
1,531 Citations2008Lutz Bornmann, Hans‐Dieter Daniel
The general tendency of the results of the empirical studies makes it clear that citing behavior is not motivated solely by the wish to acknowledge intellectual and cognitive influences of colleague scientists, since the individual studies reveal also other, in part non‐scientific, factors that play a part in the decision to cite.

Information Processing & ManagementCitation influence for journal aggregates of scientific publications: Theory, with application to the literature of physics
609 Citations1976Gabriel Pinski, Francis Narin
A self-consistent methodology is developed for determining citation based influence measures for scientific journals, subfields and fields and a wide range in influence is found between the most influential and least influential or peripheral journals.
ScientometricsComparison of the Hirsch-index with standard bibliometric indicators and with peer judgment for 147 chemistry research groups
609 Citations2006Anthony F. J. van Raan
Characteristics of the statistical correlation between the Hirsch (h-) index and several standard bibliometric indicators are presented, as well as with the results of peer review judgment, which show that the h-index and the bibliometry ‘crown indicator’ both relate in a quite comparable way with peer judgments.
ScientometricsGeneralized Hirsch h-index for disclosing latent facts in citation networks
432 Citations2007Antonis Sidiropoulos, Dimitrios Katsaros +1 more
The effectiveness and the benefits of the new indices are exhibited to unfold the full potential of the h-index, with extensive experimental results obtained from the DBLP, a widely known on-line digital library.

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.

83 Citations2008Gerhard J. Woeginger
An axiomatic characterization of the g-index in terms of three natural axioms is given, which is an improvement of the Hirsch-index.

71 Citations2010Denis Bouyssou, Thierry Marchant
An axiomatic analysis of Impact Factors when used as tools for ranking journals draws on the similarities between the problem of comparing distribution of citations among papers and that of comparing probability distributions on consequences as commonly done in decision theory.

An axiomatic analysis of the family of all scoring rules and of some particular cases within this family of authors is presented.
Journal of InformetricsMonotonicity and the Hirsch index
39 Citations2009Antonio Quesada
The Hirsch index is characterized, when indices are allowed to be real-valued, by adding to Woeginger's monotonicity two axioms in a way related to the concept ofmonotonicity.
ScienceQuantifying Publication Impact
31 Citations2005Douglass F. Taber
The Random Samples item “Impact factor” (19 Aug., p. [1181][1]) noted the proposal by Jorge Hirsch that the total scientific output of a researcher can be judged by h, the largest number such that the researcher has at least h papers with h citations.

Data from the Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System is used to illustrate this problem and argue against a "one size fits all" approach to performance metrics, especially over the short time-span covered by the Research Assessment Exercise.
