As experimental research field, the Communication area was selected. All the world scientific production on the subject, published in mainstream journals during the period 2001-2006, was retrieved. The 60 most productive authors were identified, and the H, G and R indices were calculated for each of them. The statistical distributions of the indicators, as well as the use of these indicators in research assessment processes were analyzed.
