Abstract
We use confirmatory factor analysis to derive a unifying measure of comparison of scientists based on bibliometric measurements, by utilizing the h-index, some similar h-type indices as well as other common measures of scientific performance. We use a real data example from nine well-known departments of statistics to demonstrate our approach and argue that our combined measure results in a better overall evaluation of a researchers' scientific work.
