Abstract: In this paper, we review two of the most well-known citation 
indexes and establish their connections with the Choquet and Sugeno 
integrals. In particular, we show that the recently established h-index is 
a particular case of the Sugeno integral, and that the number of citations 
corresponds to the Choquet integral. In both cases, they use the same 
fuzzy measure. The results presented here permit one to envision new 
indexes defined in terms of fuzzy integrals using other types of fuzzy 
measures. A few considerations in this respect are also included in this 
paper. Indexes for taking into account recent research and the publisher 
credibility are outlined.
