Abstract

Standard bibliometric indices were re-defined using a generalized concept of “successful paper”. A family-tree based upon the new definitions provides new insights into the relationships between the standard indices, and empty boxes in the family-tree may inspire design of new indices.

► Generic relationships between known bibliometric indices. ► Arithmetic relationships between known bibliometric indices. ► Special property of the g-index. ► Inspiration for new indices. ► Disadvantage: several important indices cannot be fitted into the family-tree.
