Jacob L. Moreno’nun 1932 yılında sosyometri bağlamını ilk sunduğu tarihten
bu yana sosyometrik incelemeler kapsamında çok sayıda performans göstergesi
geliştirilmiştir. Bu göstergelerin her biri farklı bir amaca yönelik ve diğer göstergeler
ile beraber kullanılmaktadır. Sosyometri sahasındaki gelişime paralel olarak bilimsel
başarım incelmelerinin yapıldığı bilimmetri sahasında da başarım performanslarını
incelemeye yönelik çok sayıda gösterge geliştirilmiştir. Daha çok bilimsel ve akademik
performans incelemelerinde kullanılan bilimmetri performans göstergeleri günümüzde
küresel düzeyde yaygın biçimde kullanılmaktadır. Bu yaygın kullanım içinde bilim
insanları ve otoriteler tarafından kabul görmüş ve en çok öne çıkan gösterge ise Jorge
E. Hirsch tarafından henüz 2005 yılında geliştirilen Hirsch İndeksi (H-Index) göstergesidir.
H İndeksi göstergesi sosyometrik analizlerde gerek kendi başına, gerekse de diğer göstergelere eklemlenebilecek fonksiyonu ile potansiyeller taşıyan bir göstergedir.
Bu çalışma H İndeksi göstergesinin sosyometri sahasında kullanım elverişliliğini tespit
etmek amacı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın çıktıları H İndeksi göstergesinde
kullanılan yöntemin sosyometrik incelemelerde kayda değer kullanım potansiyeline
sahip olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.

Adaptation of Hirsh Index (H-Index) Indicator in Sociometric Analyses

Öz

There are significant number of metrics developed in sociometry field since it was presented by Jacob L. Moreno in 1932. Each of those metrics are used on different purposes and within correlations to other metrics. At the same time, the scientometrics field which is the field of scientific performance measurement was in the development process as well. Significant number of metrics were developed in the field of scientometrics also which intensively used by authorities and scientists. The most widely used/referred scientometrical metric have been the Hirsch Index (H-Index) indicator which has been developed recently, just in 2005 by Jorge M. Hirsch. In this study H-index is investigated whether it may be a properly indicator in sociometrical analyses as well, or if it may be added as an additional function into already developed indicators. Outcomes show that hirsch index methodology has potential benefits in sociometry field
