Tags: h-indexPosted in Ethics, Getting published, High-impact journals
The H-Index is ruling science these days.
Recently an interesting article appeared in EuroPhysics News. I think this paper is of interest to all scientists, and not only to physicists:
Europhysics News Vol. 40, No. 5, 2009, pp. 26-29
DOI: 10.1051/epn/2009704
Bibliometric evaluation of individual researchers: not even right… not even wrong!

There was another interesting letter about this in Physics Today this month at http://ptonline.aip.org/journals/doc/PHTOAD-ft/vol_62/iss_12/10_1.shtml.
