NEW METRICS FOR RESEARCH OUTPUTS FROM THE CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT IN VALAHIA UNIVERSITY OF TARGOVISTE

This article presents a further study related to the analysis of the scientific performance obtained by the Chemistry Department members from Valahia University using different scientometric indicators described in the scientific literature, including Hirsch index, selectivity and amplitude. The paper also contains the description of the method for calculating the Hirsch-index dependence on the Chemistry Department member’s research age, determined from the publication of their first scientific paper. Some results concerning the h-index normalization by a factor that reflects the average number of co-authors are also included.
