Definitions of time series in citation analysis with special attention to the h-index
The structure of different types of time series in citation analysis is revealed, using an adapted form of the FrandsenRousseau notation. Special cases where this approach can be used include time series of impact factors and time series of h-indices, or h-type indices. This leads to a tool describing dynamic aspects of citation analysis. Time series of h-indices are calculated in some specific models.
