Abstract

The ability of a researcher and quality of research publications are generally measured by the number of research publications and the number of citations they receive during a givenobservation period. There are a number of research indices commonly used to assess theability and hence the quantity of research along with the quality of a research publication.Research indices are calculated based on either citation values of research publications of aresearch scholar or the number of research papers published by a research scholar for a givenperiod. Apart from generally used citation indices like H-index, i10-index, G-index, and basedon argument on why certain research publications do not attract citations initially for someyears, it is found that the best method of identifying the contribution to research is calculatingthe annual research index for an author by considering the annual research publications.Recently, we have suggested some of the new research indices used for calculating researchproductivity of individuals as well as a team of people in an organization which include ARPIndex – (Annual Research Publication Index), RC-Index – (Research Continuation Index),RE-Index (Research Expansion Index), Project Productivity Index, and Cost Index. In thispaper, we have made an attempt to study these five indices by using our own technique ofqualitative analysis of a system or concept called ABCD analysis/listing.
