With citation* profiles calculated for the articles of an author, we can define his h*-index. The h*-index is defined simply in the same as the h-index, just in the calculations we use the citation* values instead of citations. To be precise, the h*-index of an author at a year is H, if H is the maximum number for which he has H number articles which have a citation* index greater or equal to H in that year. The h*-index profile of an author is the time series of his h*-index values from the year he has published his first article.
For example, if an author has five articles in 2012 with citation* indices of 3.00, 2.05, 1.05, 0.54, and 1.95 in 2012 respectively, his h*-index(2012) will be 2.
In the next blog post, an example of how to calculate the h*-index and the h*-index profile of an author will be provided.
