    "abstract": "I propose to sharpen the index h, proposed by Hirsch as a useful index to\ncharacterize the scientific output of a researcher, by excluding the\nself-citations. Performing a self-experiment and also analyzing two anonymous\ndata sets, it is shown that self-citations can significantly reduce the $h$\nindex in contrast to Hirsch\u0027s expectations. This result is confirmed by an\nanalysis of 13 further data sets.",
