Indices effectively classify Arabic journals and researchers.

Method provides quick ranking without extensive data comparison.

Indices rely on impact factor and h-index for simplicity.

Abstract

I propose two simple indices to classify journals, published in Arabic language, and different researchers. These indices depend upon the known impact factor and h-index. The new indices give an easy way to judge the rank of any journal (output of any researcher) without looking for other journals (output of other researchers).
