index suggested by  Jorge Hirsch  physics, UCSD.  
 
look at square in figure:
 
key idea;   want h paper  (eg 12)  that have ALL be cited at least 12 times.
 
similar idea:  merit of a hiker:  can  walk  12 miles per day for 12 days  or
20 miles per day for 20 days;   cyclist:  80 miles per day for 80 days.
 
quantity * quality.
