Polar coordinates and generalized h-type indices

Journal of Informetrics, 2020, vol. 14, issue 2

Abstract: This article highlights the importance of using polar coordinates when studying functions, in particular in relation to generalized h-type indices. Concretely, generalized h-type indices are essentially polar coordinates. This observation ties informetric ideas to standard mathematics. This article is essentially meant to provide tools for further studies.
