Evaluation of publications by the part-set method

Abstract Several scientists publish journal papers on more than only a single scientific field or subfield. However, in evaluating the impact of publications individuals their all are taken into account, general. In this paper new method, namely part - set method is introduced for assessing according to respective fields and forming cumulative index. scientists, elite indicators (e.g. h -index, g top percentage indices, π -index) preferably used recently. For obtaining sets, we may apply inside standards, i.e. values derived from number citations analysed, (outside) standards taking account same factors referring corresponding field. model calculations some scientometricians selected who not scientometrics but also other physics, chemistry, medicine, etc.) fields. Consequently, form complex sets which -sets show different bibliometric features. publication, scientometric part-set presented using both outside standards. No significant correlation was found between obtained by that calculated The however, significantly correlates with each other. indicates sum -index two part-sets common (total) can be equal higher set. contrast, lower parent reveals maximum value belonging times total life-work) active several fields, application (or weighted sum) pertinent indices individual separately recommended instead calculating
