Abstract
Dear Editor In Chief
There are a variety of scientific contributions, productivity and impact indicators include h-index, g-index, hg-index and AR index as citation based indicators.1-4 It is evidenced both strengths and weaknesses of such indicators in the literature.5,6 Majority of the scientific output measures focus on most cited papers. However, no one has considered predictability of researcher’s impact during next years and ignore non cited publications.
