Bibliometric Epilogue: Measuring the Works of D.R.T. Zahn

Abstract

The articles in the present issue show in an impressive way the width and the depth of the works of D.R.T. Zahn. In this epilogue some bibliometric data are compiled in order to provide quantitative measures of the author's work. Traditional indicators like the numbers of publications and received citations are discussed. Web of Science and Google Scholar search results are compared. The index h proposed by Hirsch and several variants of h are determined for Zahn's oeuvre. The claimed predictive power of h is traced to its inert evolution.
