It would be interesting to see how different the lists turn out to be db An interesting extension of the concept Nenad.

This gives area based (A-index) of the h-index citation field. This removes problem that h-index of N cannot distinquish is it N-times N-citations (the weakest possible case) or N-times of citations that are much larger of N. For instance h-index of 5 one can get by citations: 5 5 5 5 5, but also by citations: 50 5 5 5 5. A-index in these two cases is 5 and 8.4 respectively. Such an index will put science genius (milestone discovery) back to the top.
