“…There have been several studies of the use of the h-index in business and management fields such as information systems (Oppenheim, 2007;Truex III et al, 2009), management science (Mingers, 2008b;Mingers et al, 2012), consumer research (Saad, 2006), Marketing (Moussa & Touzani, 2010) and business (Harzing & Van der Wal, 2009). …”

Scientometrics is the study of the quantitative aspects of the process of science as a communication system. It is centrally, but not only, concerned with the analysis of citations in the academic literature.In recent years it has come to play a major role in the measurement and evaluation of research performance. In this review we consider: the historical development of scientometrics, sources of citation data, citation metrics and the "laws" of scientometrics, normalisation, journal impact factors and other journal metrics, visualising and mapping science, evaluation and policy, and future developments.

“…The h-index (Costas & Bordons, 2007;Egghe, 2010;Glänzel, 2006;Hirsch, 2005;Mingers, 2008b;Mingers et al, 2012) is one that has become particularly prominent, now available automatically in the databases. It is transparent and robust but there are many criticisms of its biases.…”

“…Then, the concept of the use of the index was introduced. The first index, h-index (Alonso et al, 2009;Mingers, 2009), was introduced that is still regarded as a good metric to measure the quantity as well as the quality of an author's work. Then, a number of indices (Alonso et al, 2009;Alonso et al, 2010;Jin et al, 2007) were introduced which addresses the various aspects, but mainly the goal of all the indices is same, that is, to measure an author's impact in the research community.…”

An analysis of an academic network reveals interesting insights into the prevailing research domains. The scientometrics analysis of an academic network mainly focuses to find the top authors and top journals using Bibliometircs. There are few work identify the top conferences to help the scholars to know about the current trends in computer science and helps them to participate in the conferences to extend their interactions with other researchers. In this paper, we aim to find the top conferences in the computer science research domain. We present a novel algorithm, ConferencRank by adapting the state of the art Pagerank algorithm to rank the conferences. We use the various features as weights to rank the conferences as well. The proposed algorithm has been applied on a very large data set of the DBLP and the results confirm that the proposed algorithm is helpful to find the top conferences and ranks the conferences in a proper manner. As a future work, we will like to extend this work by finding topicsensitive ranking of the conferences.

“…A more objective tool for this purpose can be represented by bibliometric indicators, which are based on citation statistics. Although indicators can show some weak points, most of the time they seem to be the main way for evaluating, comparing and ranking scientific journals (Garfield 2006;Leydesdorff 2009;Mingers 2009). …”

This article analyzes some of the most popular scientific journals in the Manufacturing field from the point of view of four bibliometric indicators: the ISI impact factor (ISI-IF), the Hirsch (h) index-for-journal, the total number of citations and the h-spectrum. h-spectrum is a novel tool based on h, making it possible to (i) identify a reference profile of the typical authors of a journal, (ii) compare different journals and (iii) provide a rough indication of their ''bibliometric positioning'' in the scientific community. Results of this analysis can be helpful for guiding potential authors and members of the scientific community in the Manufacturing area. Of particular interest is the construction of maps based on h-spectrum and ISI-IF to compare journals and monitor their bibliometric positioning over time. A large amount of empirical data are presented and discussed.
