dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study is to determine the deficiencies of the h-index, to produce solutions in this direction and to reveal the limits of the h-index. In this study, document analysis, which is included in secondary data analysis, was used. Except for the H-index, indices used in the scientific world are generally examined in 3 groups. In this direction, a total of 33 indexes were examined by 3 scientists, each index type being compared. The publications and citations of scientists are based on the October 2021 period via Google Scholar. Although the h-index, developed by Hirsch, in which n citations to n publications of a scientist is presented as output, is the most used criterion in the scientific world, it has been determined that there are missing aspects. In the study, it was seen that the scientist with a low h-index may have a higher value in other index types. It has been concluded that the other indexes examined in the study are alternatives to the h-index and that a new type of index should be developed that exceeds all limitations..
