We propose a simple new index, named the CI-index, based on the Choquet integral to characterize the scientific output of researchers. This index is an improvement of the A-index and R-index and has a notable feature that highly cited papers have highly weights and lowly cited papers have lowly weights. In applications many researchers may have the same h-index, g-index or R-index. The CI-index can be provided an effective method of distinguish among such researchers.
