Production Indicators of Mathematics Teachers in Public Universities of the Valencian Community on Web of Science

The current evaluation and comparison system of scientific production by impact factor has been criticised from different perspectives in recent years, and has ensured that publishing in high-impact journals does not necessarily imply that works are quality works. Many of these jobs are mostly not cited or, in the best of cases, only a very small number are, especially during the first years since their publication [4, 21]. In this context, the h-Index appeared in 2005 [19], and is currently one of the most bibliometric indicators used to estimate the success of research work and to predict the impact of future production. Following that proposed in [11], we used the h-index as a measure of scientific quality and productivity of mathematics teachers in Public Universities of the Valencian Community on the Web of Science. The results showed that the h-Index widely correlates citations and number of items.
