【 摘 要 】

Assessing scientific activity is a crucial factor for development agencies and research institutes. That is why a new bibliometric indicator has been gaining grounds in the scientific community - the h-index. This study analyzes the variability/persistence of the index value in different areas of knowledge and its application as a tool for science and technology policy.
