In a highly influential paper, Hirsch \cite{hindex} proposed a pair of  citation-based measures (\textit{h, m}) which: solve the shot-noise  problem, substantially improve the age problem, and help with the  curation difficulty, discussed above. The Hirsch index, \textit{h}, is  the position in a citation ranked list where the rank equals the  number of citations; absent shot noise {\it h} is obviously proportional  to the square root of the total number of citations, which grows  linearly with career length \cite{hindex,kurtz05b}. The \textit{m}  quotient is \textit{h} divided by career length, and is a constant  throughout the career of an individual with constant productivity in a  constant environment.
