A New H-index

H-index is widely used as a metric to evaluate research output. But this metric is not free from its flaws. It is necessary to understand the pros and cons of its use and impacts. It can better be understood if two researchers start talking about it, one speaking against it and other speaking in favour of it. The present chapter shows how two imaginary researchers, R1 and R2, are talking to find a common ground. When two human beings talk, since they  are not machines, they show emotions and can get irritated if one speaks against another’s longstanding belief. The chapter is not free from such displays of emotions.   A new h-index is introduced, named as n-index, where “n” stands for “normalized h.” It is the h-index that is calculated after dividing the citation of each paper by the number of authors of each paper. The problem with the h-index is that it is not scientific, which is given, which gives most of the problems. Thus, the n-index is free from all those problems that arise due to the unscientific nature of the h-index. Therefore, it is claimed that the n-index is better than the h-index, but it is not claimed that the n-index is the solution to all problems.
