About the h-index...
What is your h-index? The h-index has been discussed a great deal as a measure of research impact. Just out of interest, I wanted to know what would be considered a good h-index measure for Computer Scientists and for Australian Computer Scientists. On Googling, I found Palsberg's page, which lists CS academics with h-index above 40. Also, Roger Clarke's citation analysis on Australian IS researchers yielded "the threshholds at the end of 2007 might be perceived to be, for an outstanding Australian IS researcher, an h-index of 25 and/or an h-count of 750, and for successful Australian IS researchers, an h-index of 12 or 15 combined with an h-count of 500. Because citations are cumulative, and the collections are not entirely stable, any such heuristic requires re-consideration at least annually." I later did a similar search with some CS Professors in Australia, using Harzing's Publish or Perish; anyone can do this but I have listed some of my findings here (including the queries I used since this could affect the results). So, the h-index range for a CS professor in Australia seems to be from 13 to 36 (of course, this is only a very small sample, dated Nov 2008). I think h-index could not be the final decider of everything but merely an indicator, and it could depend on the individual history of work and area. What is even more interesting is to consider different areas within computing and what the h-index values are within each area. My last check (July 2010) with the h-index with the query "sw loke" or "seng loke" or "seng w loke" or "seng wai loke" was h-index: 19.
