An innovative approach is proposed for a rating system for academic publications based on a categorization into ratings comparable to financial ratings such as Moody's and S&P ratings (AAA, AA, A, BA, BBB, BB, B, C).

Building on this categorization, a new index is proposed for researchers, the fame‐index or f 2 ‐index. This new index integrates some qualitative elements related to the influence of a researcher's articles. It better mitigates than the classic h‐index.
