    Abstract
    The h-index, as originally proposed (Hirsch, 2005), is a purely heuristic construction. Burrell (2013) showed that efforts to derive formulae from the mathematical framework of Lotkaian informetrics could lead to misleading results. On this note, we argue that a simple heuristic "thermodynamical" model can enable a better three-dimensional (3D) evaluation of the information production process leading to what we call the zynergy-index.

    Abstract
    Recently, it was shown that among existing theoretical models for the h-index, the Glänzel-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 Glänzel-Schubert model of the h-index.

    Abstract
    In this brief communication, we show how a simple 3D bibliometric performance evaluation based on the zynergy-index (Prathap, 2013) can be simplified by the recently introduced 3-class approach (Ye & Leydesdorff, in press).
