Abstract

Research output metrics, in particular for peer-reviewed publications are of increasingly high importance for academics' careers. In Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and related fields of research, like Computer Graphics and Multimedia, simple to use and objective measures like Thomson Reuter's impact factors aren't applicable. Ranking lists like the Australian ERA and CORE try to provide an alternative, but are often criticized for being subjective.We are proposing an additional, alternative rating system which is entirely based on Hirsch indices by assigning four categories of quality (A*, A, B, C) to certain ranges (30+, 20-29, 10-19, 0-9) of H5 indices gathered from Google Scholar. We describe our methodology, results, limitations, and opportunities of this proposed CHINZ rating.
