The h Index for Computer Science
In this 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."
Here is a partial list of computer science researchers
who each has an h index of 40 or higher according to
Google Scholar.
Send comments, corrections, and new entries to
Jens Palsberg (UCLA).
I made the most recent update on Jul 27, 2010.
I do maintain the list: mostly, I add people and update
numbers upon request and when I happen to notice a high h index.
Most of the numbers on this page are the results of counting efforts
by the listed people themselves.
I have computed some of the numbers myself by comparing output from
Google Scholar
with other listings of research papers, such as from personal webpages or
DBLP.
Several websites provide easy-to-use interfaces for computing an h index,
including
scHolar index
and
Harzing's publish and perish.
