Symbol	Calculation
citation count	sum of citation counts for all works by the individual identified in Publish or Perish
e	e is square root of the (sum of citations of all works contributing to h minus h2)
h	h is the highest number for which h works have been cited at least h times (also based on works identified in Publish or Perish)
hm	hm is the sum of works contributing to h fractionalized by the number of authors
Icumulative	average of the four indicators above after standardizing each separately (M = 0, SD = 1)
citesCS	citesCS = log(citation count) – [5.461 + (current year – PhD year + 1)*.0803]; presented in standardized units in article (original M = 0.00074, SD = 1.17); constants are the intercept and slope estimates from a regression of years since PhD predicting log(citation count) of this sample of 611 scientists
eCS	eCS = log(e) – [2.505 + (current year – PhD year + 1)*.0383]; presented in standardized units in article (original M = -0.00025, SD = 0.65); constants are the intercept and slope estimates from a regression of years since PhD predicting log(h) of this sample of 611 scientists
hCS	hCS = log(h) – [1.929 + (current year – PhD year + 1)*.0413]; presented in standardized units in article (original M = 0.00021, SD = 0.55); constants are the intercept and slope estimates from a regression of years since PhD predicting log(h) of this sample of 611 scientists
hm.CS	hm.CS = log(hm) – [1.220 + (current year – PhD year + 1)*.0485]; presented in standardized units in article (original M = -0.00018, SD = 0.56); constants are the intercept and slope estimates from a regression of years since PhD predicting log(h) of this sample of 611 scientists
ICS	average the four indicators above after standardizing each separately (M = 0, SD = 1)
