Abstract

In previous work, we introduced the notion of an impact bundle, showing how e.g., the h-index and the g-index can lead to such a bundle. Here we extend the set of impact bundles by a new impact bundle, based on Zhang’s e-index. It is, moreover, shown that some other plausible definitions do not lead to an impact bundle.

Keywords: Zhang’s e-index; Bundles; Impact bundles; Theoretical informetrics
