Application of a Modified k-Means Algorithm to Evaluatesignificance of Bibliometric Indices of Journals

The indices such as h-index, e-index etc has received much attention from the scientific community owing to their prowess to impact journal quality. Many different indicatorshave been developed to overcome drawbacks of hindex. Nearly four indices which are of prime importance in the publishing industry were utilized.In this paper, we present a modified k-means algorithm to generate three clusters of datasets of scientific journals.
