Abstract

[Purpose/significance] In order to reasonably balance the co-authors' research contribution, this article summarizes predecessors' calculation method of p-index and aims at analyzing the co-authorship phenomenon and solving author signature sorting problems of the paper. Then, we present four calculation methods of p-index based on the co-author contribution division value, making the p-index for scientific research evaluation more effective and reasonable. [Method/process] Taking two experts in the field of library and information science as examples, we compared and analyzed the results of four kinds of different calculations by data statistics and calculation.[Result/conclusion] It finds out the two p-index calculation methods. One method only considers the situation of individual writing and the first author and the other method does not consider the situation of the co-authorship phenomenon. These two methods belong to the extreme treatments. The pa-index which averagely distributes the co-author weight ignoring the author signature sorting problem. The pw-index calculated by Lou Cequn's author contribution rate levels distribution method not only takes the co-authorship phenomenon into account, but also considers the different author contribution rate in different author signature ranking. Therefore, the pw-index based on the co-author contribution division value is more objective and rational.
