Abstract

Digital Libraries are used on contexts beyond organization, archival and search. Here, we use them to extract bibliography data for proposing a new productivity index that emphasizes the venue and the year of the publication. Also, it changes the evaluation perspective from a researcher alone (index based on one’s own publications) to one’s contribution to a whole community. Overall, our results show that the new index considers researchers’ features that other well known indexes disregard, which allows a broader researchers’ productivity analysis.
