Abstract: Recently, it was shown that among existing theoretical models for 
the h-index, the Glanzel-Schubert model provides the best fit for a chosen 
example involving the research evaluation of universities. In this brief 
communication, we propose a thermodynamic explanation for the success of 
the Glanzel-Schubert model of the h-index.
