On the time dependence of the $h$-index.
[Volltext] [Kurzfassung] [BibTeX] [Endnote] The time dependence of the $h$-index is analyzed by considering the average haviour of $h$ as a function of the academic age $A_A$ for about 1400 Italian ysicists, with career lengths spanning from 3 to 46 years. The individual $-index is strongly correlated with the square root of the total citations _C$: $h approx0.53 N_C$. For academic ages ranging from 12 to 24 ars, the distribution of the time scaled index $h/A_A$ is proximately time-independent and it is well described by the Gompertz nction. The time scaled index $h/A_A$ has an average approximately ual to 3.8 and a standard deviation approximately equal to 1.6. Finally, the me scaled index $h/A_A$ appears to be strongly correlated with the ntemporary $h$-index $h_c$.
