Further axiomatizations of Egghe's g-index

作者:

Highlights:

• We provide three axiomatic characterizations of Egghe's g-index.

• Axioms T1, T2, and TA characterize a class of indexes including the g-index.

• By adding SM and CC, the g-index is characterized.

• CC can be dropped if adding IMC+ or strengthening SM and adding IMC.

• Axioms other than T1 and T2 are newly introduced.
