An algorithmic comparison of three scientific impact indices

We use tools from Theoretical Computer Science to analyze the computational complexity of determining the h-index, the g-index, and the w-index in various models of computation. Our results confirm the natural intuition that the h-index is an easier concept than the g-index, which in turn is an easi...

Description
Summary:We use tools from Theoretical Computer Science to analyze the computational complexity of determining the h-index, the g-index, and the w-index in various models of computation. Our results confirm the natural intuition that the h-index is an easier concept than the g-index, which in turn is an easier concept than the w-index.
