ABSTRACT

This study describes the meaning of and the formula for Kor-hT, which is a modified index built on the tapered h-index by applying ‘the ranking according to the number of citations of journals’. This study evaluated the de-duplication rate of index values of Kor-hT and analyzed the change in the correlation between the index values and evaluation elements using the Korea Citation Index data from 2008 to 2010. Kor-hT is compared with h-index, tapered h-index, and IF. As a result, Kor-hT appeared to be superior to other indexes on de-duplication rate. It is also shown that there is a very strong positive correlation between the evaluation elements, the number of citations and the number of articles of journals, and the index values of Kor-hT.
