For these things in life, download a software that performs various indices cientométricos analysis using the base of Google Scholar. Like all things, has problems-the basis of Google Scholar is not perfect (and in fact it works better for papers for books, and works better if you quoted out of Chile in publications and conferences of 'mainstream'). But it also has virtues.
Of all the different indices, we use the h-index is relatively easy to understand. I will not use the formal definition, but an h-index of 4 indicates that you have 4 letters that have been cited 4 times or more. Also present the g-index that follows the same logic but weighs most cited texts (the number such that the top g-g2 together texts are citations).
Well, lets see what results we show for Chilean sociologists:
- Jose Joaquin Brunner = 15 (g-index 27)
- Norbert Lechner = 13 (g-index 27)
- MA Garretón = 13 (g-index 20) Daniel
- Chernilo = 8 (g-index 13)
- Eugenio Tironi = 7 (g-index 11)
- Florencia Torche = 7 (g-index 11)
(also calculated Mouli, Morande and other but had h-index of 5 or less)
Due to characteristics of the base, this will impact measured rather 'global' of the authors. Someone who is very controversial in Chile, but less out of Chile will appear with a lower impact. But, like all numbers, be seen as a better indicator than anything else, and not as absolute truth.
Comparative values \u200b\u200b
- Pierre Bourdieu = 89 (g-index 295)
- Luhmann N = 38 (g-index 98)
- Mark Granovetter = 29 (g-index 199)
