A thermodynamic explanation for the Glänzel-Schubert model for the h-index

Recently, it was shown that among existing theoretical models for the h-index, the Glanzel–Schubert model provides the best fit for a chosen example involving the research evaluation of universities. In this brief communication, we propose a thermodynamic explanation for the success of the Glanzel–Schubert model of the h-index. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
