K-INDEX
- Aim: Use K-index as a predictor of who will be awarded with a scientific prize.
- Testbed: gather most of the Highly Cited Researchers in Physics from Clarivate
and try to predict the Nobel Laureates. The use of K-index is not limited to Nobel Laureates prediction.
We compare the results with the standard scientometric index used by Web of Science, the
h-index (Hirsch index).
- Manuscript: arXiv:1910.02369, 2019.
