Abstract
Conglomerates are generalized frameworks for informetric research. In 
this article, the h-index of a conglomerate is defined and it is shown 
how this construction generalizes the standard definition of the 
h-index. It is further shown how non-trivial constructions, such as 
Prathap’s h-indices, fit well into a conglomerate framework. An example 
illustrates the use of the conglomerate framework.
