As it happened in all domains of human activities, economic issues and theincrease of people working in scientific research have altered the wayscientific production is evaluated so as the objectives of performing theevaluation. Introduced in 2005 by J. E. Hirsch as an indicator able to measureindividual scientific output not only in terms of quantity, but also in termsof quality, h index has spread throughout the world. In 2007, Hirsch proposedits adoption also as the best to predict future scientific achievement and,consequently, a useful guide for investments in research and for institutionswhen hiring members for their scientific staff. Since then, several authorshave also been using the Thomson ISI Web of Science database to develop theirproposals for evaluating research output. Here, using a software we havedeveloped, we analyse more than 100 thousand articles and show that a subtleflaw in Web of Science can inflate the results of info collected, thereforecompromising the exactness and, consequently, the effectiveness of Hirsch'sproposal and its variations.
