The power law model and total career h-index sequences

Journal of Informetrics, 2008, vol. 2, issue 4, 288-297

Abstract: Three variations on the power law model proposed by Egghe are fitted to four groups of h-index time series: publication-citation data for authors, journals and universities; and patent citation data for firms. It is shown that none of the power law models yields an adequate description of total career h-index sequences.
