The h Index for Computer Science
In his paper J. E. Hirsch, Dept of Physics, UCSD, proposes "the index h, defined as the number of papers with citation number higher or equal to h, as a useful index to characterize the scientific output of a researcher." The paper can be downloaded under the URL http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~palsberg/hirsch05.pdf
Here is a partial list of computer science researchers who each has h ~ 40 or higher according to the proposed classification scheme: http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~palsberg/h-number.html
