Abstract

HelioIndex is a directory of authors who are active in solar and heliospheric physics (SHP). It is available at the webpage HelioIndex.org, and it includes several derived products such as publication lists, country and institute data, journal data, and lists of the most cited articles in the field. HelioIndex is built from ORCID identifiers and publication data obtained from the Astrophysics Data System and ORCID. Selection criteria have been chosen to approximately correspond to a researcher having completed a PhD and published original research in a refereed journal. HelioIndex is intended to be a comprehensive directory of SHP authors that is generated and maintained through software procedures, with minimal human intervention. At the time of writing, 1910 SHP researchers are listed in HelioIndex and they belong to 55 countries. The countries with the largest numbers of researchers are the US, China and the UK, with 29%, 15%, and 8% of the total, respectively. HelioIndex authors average 0.69 first author papers per year over their careers, and the median citations for a paper is 15. Based on journal keyword data, it is estimated that 57% and 28% of HelioIndex authors belong to solar physics and heliospheric physics, respectively, with the remainder overlapping both disciplines.

HelioIndex：太阳和日光层物理活跃研究人员目录

HelioIndex是一个活跃在太阳和日球物理（SHP）领域的作者目录。它可以在HelioIndex.org网站上获得，它包括几个衍生产品，如出版物列表、国家和研究所数据、期刊数据以及该领域被引用次数最多的文章列表。HelioIndex是根据ORCID标识符和从天体物理数据系统和ORCID获得的出版物数据建立的。选择标准大致对应于完成博士学位并在评审期刊上发表原创研究的研究人员。HelioIndex旨在成为一个综合的SHP作者目录，通过软件程序生成和维护，人工干预最少。在撰写本文时，1910名SHP研究人员被列入HelioIndex，他们来自55个国家。研究人员数量最多的国家是美国、中国和英国，分别占总数的29%、15%和8%。HelioIndex的作者在其职业生涯中平均每年发表0.69篇第一作者论文，一篇论文的引用中位数为15次。根据期刊关键词数据，估计HelioIndex的作者中分别有57%和28%属于太阳物理学和日球物理学，其余的作者属于这两个学科。

期刊介绍： Solar Physics was founded in 1967 and is the principal journal for the publication of the results of fundamental research on the Sun. The journal treats all aspects of solar physics, ranging from the internal structure of the Sun and its evolution to the outer corona and solar wind in interplanetary space. Papers on solar-terrestrial physics and on stellar research are also published when their results have a direct bearing on our understanding of the Sun.
