The evaluation of the career of a researcher and its impact on the research community has been deeply studied in literature through the definition of several measures, first among all the h-index and its variations. Although these measures represent valuable tools for analyzing researchers' outputs, they usually assume the co-authorship to be a proportional collaboration between the parts, missing out their relationships and the relative scientific influences. This web application is based on d-index, a novel measure that estimates the dependency degree between authors according to their research environment and along their entire scientific publication history. It proposes a number of visualization tools for analyzing and comparing the careers of all the scientists in the DBLP bibliographic database.

Abstract
The evaluation of the career of a researcher and its impact on the research community has been deeply studied in literature through the definition of several measures, first among all the h-index and its variations. Although these measures represent valuable tools for analyzing researchers' outputs, they usually assume the co-authorship to be a proportional collaboration between the parts, missing out their relationships and the relative scientific influences. This web application is based on d-index, a novel measure that estimates the dependency degree between authors according to their research environment and along their entire scientific publication history. It proposes a number of visualization tools for analyzing and comparing the careers of all the scientists in the DBLP bibliographic database.
