However, in evaluating the impact of publications of individuals their all scientific publications are taken into account, in general. In this paper a new method, namely the<jats:italic>part<\/jats:italic>-<jats:italic>set method<\/jats:italic>is introduced for assessing papers according to the respective fields and forming a<jats:italic>cumulative impact<\/jats:italic>index. In assessing publications of scientists,<jats:italic>elite set<\/jats:italic>indicators (e.g.<jats:italic>h<\/jats:italic>-index,<jats:italic>g<\/jats:italic>-index, top percentage indices,<jats:italic>\u03c0<\/jats:italic>-index) are preferably used recently. For obtaining elite sets, we may apply<jats:italic>inside<\/jats:italic>standards, i.e. values derived from the number of papers and citations in the set analysed, or<jats:italic>field<\/jats:italic>(outside) standards taking into account the same factors referring to all papers on the corresponding field. For model calculations some scientometricians are selected who publish papers not only on scientometrics but also on other (e.g. physics, chemistry, medicine, etc.) fields. Consequently, their papers form<jats:italic>complex<\/jats:italic>sets of which<jats:italic>part<\/jats:italic>-sets may show different bibliometric features. In this publication, the number of papers in the elite set of the scientometric part-set and their citations are presented using both inside and outside standards. No significant correlation was found between the number of<jats:italic>papers<\/jats:italic>in the elite sets obtained by inside and that calculated by field standards. The number of<jats:italic>citations<\/jats:italic>in the different elite sets calculated by both inside and outside standards however, significantly correlates with each other. The presented model indicates that the sum of<jats:italic>h<\/jats:italic>-index of two part-sets derived from a common complex (total) set can be<jats:italic>equal to<\/jats:italic>or<jats:italic>higher<\/jats:italic>than the<jats:italic>h<\/jats:italic>-index of the corresponding complex set. In contrast, the sum of<jats:italic>\u03c0<\/jats:italic>-index of two part-sets can be<jats:italic>higher<\/jats:italic>or<jats:italic>lower than<\/jats:italic>or<jats:italic>equal to<\/jats:italic>the<jats:italic>\u03c0<\/jats:italic>-index of the parent complex set. The model reveals that the<jats:italic>maximum<\/jats:italic>value of the sum of<jats:italic>h<\/jats:italic>-index of two part-sets belonging to the same complex set can be two times the<jats:italic>h<\/jats:italic>-index of the corresponding complex set. In evaluating<jats:italic>total<\/jats:italic>scientific impact (e.g. life-work) of publications of scientists who are active in several fields, the application of<jats:italic>sum<\/jats:italic>(or weighted sum) of the pertinent impact indices (e.g.<jats:italic>h<\/jats:italic>or<jats:italic>\u03c0<\/jats:italic>-index) obtained for the individual fields<jats:italic>separately<\/jats:italic>may be recommended instead of calculating the impact of the total set.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11192-020-03841-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,25]],"date-time":"2021-02-25T17:03:47Z","timestamp":1614272627000},"page":"2737-2757","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Evaluation of publications by the part-set method"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"126","author":[{"given":"P\u00e9ter","family":"Vinkler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"3841_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"346","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joi.2011.01.006","volume":"5","author":"L Bornmann","year":"2011","unstructured":"Bornmann, L., Mutz, R., Hug, Sven.
