Sugeno Integrals, Hα, and Hβ Indices: How to Compare Scientists From Different Academic Areas.

The usage of the standard h-index to compare scientists from different research fields is often misleading. To avoid this possible failure, based on the Sugeno integrals, three new modified indices H_α, H^β , and H_α^β are proposed, thus, allowing to compensate the lower number of citations or of papers characteristic for a considered field. Our approach has a transparent geometric interpretation, and thus, it offers good candidates to replace the standard h-index H in considered databases, such as Web of Science (WOS), Scopus, or Google Scholar.
