Which index is comparatively good either g-index or h-index? How h-index is related to m-index and e-index?

01 January 1970 1 3K Report

The h-index reflects both the number of publications and the number of citations per publication. For example: a scientist with an h-Index of 20 has 20 papers cited at least 20 times.
The g-index looks at overall record of citations from higher-cited articles to be used to bolster lower-cited articles. For instance a scientist with 20 papers, 15 of which have no citations with the remaining five having respectively 350, 35, 10, 4 and 1 citations would have a g-index of 20, but a h-index of 4 (four papers with at least 4 citations each).

All of these indices are nonsense. The main thing is for the author to be a good person: create, create new scientific knowledge and be happy about it.
