In this paper,wedefine a First-Citation-Speed-Index (FCSI) for a set of papers, based on their times of publication and of first citation. The index is based on the definition of a h-index for increasing sequences. We show that the index has several good properties in the sense that the shorter the times are between publication and first citation (in a global manner) the higher the FCSI is. We ...

In this paper, we give the properties of tensor product and study the relationship between Hom functors and left (right) exact sequences in FS-Act. Also, we get some necessary conditions for equivalence of two fuzzy Sacts category. Moreover, we prove that two monoids S and T are Morita equivalent if and only if FS-Act and FT -Act are equivalent.
