Bibliometrics for Internet Media: Applying the h-Index to YouTube
Abstract
The h-index can be a useful metric for evaluating a person's output of Internet media. Here we advocate and demonstrate adaption of the h-index and the g-index to the top video content creators on YouTube. The h-index for Internet video media is based on videos and their view counts. The index h is defined as the number of videos with >= h*105 views. The index g is defined as the number of videos with >= g*105 views on average. When compared to a video creator's total view count, the h-index and g-index better capture both productivity and impact in a single metric.
