New scientific index of the author's publishing activity

A new (three-dimensional) seientometrie index is presented a (weighted) index of the author’s publishing (or public) activity, depending on the number of author’s publications in various journals. Informatively, the index of the author’s publishing activity characterizes the breadth of the author’s scientific interests, attention to his work on the part of publishers and (indirectly) the level of scientific significance of his results. A weighted estimate is achieved by accounting for the quartilcs of the journals. For the convenience of comparing the publishing activity of scientists, a one-dimensional pseudo-norm (or assessment) of the activity index has been introduced. The new indices arc easy to use, based on the Hirseh methodology already familiar to the scientific community, and at the same time, in quality they surpass the Hirseh methodology in analyzing the scientist’s contribution to the development of his branch of science.
