Restricting the h-index to a publication and citation time window: A case study of a timed Hirsch index

The h-index has been shown to increase in many cases mostly because of citations to rather old publications. This inertia can be circumvented by restricting the evaluation to a publication and citation time window. Here I report results of an empirical study analyzing the evolution of the thus defined timed h-index in dependence on the length of the time window.
