摘要

Purpose: Elaboration of an indicator to include the dynamic aspect of citations in bibliometric indexes.Design/methodology/approach: A new bibliometric methodology—the f^2-index—is applied at the career level and at the level of the recent 5 years to analyze the dynamic aspect of bibliometrics. The method is applied, as an illustration, to the field of corporate governance.Findings: The compound F^2-index as an extension of the f^2-index recognizes past achievements but also values new research work with potential. The method is extended to the h-index and the h~2-index. An activity index is defined as the ratio between the recent h'-index to the career h-index.Research limitations: The compound F^2 and H-indexes are PAC, probably approximately correct, and depend on the selection and database.Practical implications: The F^2-and H compound indexes allow identifying the rising stars of a field from a dynamic perspective. The activity ratio highlights the contribution of younger researchers.Originality/value: The new methodology demonstrates the underestimated dynamic capacity of bibliometric research.
