‘Nu’ citation index may bridge gap between productivity and impact metrics

January 13, 2026 Phys Org

Researchers propose a new citation index that balances productivity and impact in academic publishing. The h-index of citations was introduced in 2005 by physicist Jorge E. Hirsch. This index is defined simply as the maximum […]
