AB - The Perfectionism Index (PI) is an indicator that is recently proposed to distinguish influential researchers from mass producers. In this study, Near Perfectionism Index (NPI), an improved indicator of Perfectionism Index, can be a solution to the problem of PI that indiscriminately gives a penalty to all low-cited papers regardless of publishing time or other issues. NPI improved the method to give a penalty to tail complement area considering the citation distribution curve. It prevents the improvement of the h-index from adversely affecting the researcher’s influence indicator. This study uses NPI to evaluate information and library science journals in Web of Science database. It successfully distinguishes between influential journals and mass producers unlike journal h-index or average citation frequency which could not differentiate influentials from mass producers.
