In this paper,
J. E. Hirsch, Dept of Physics, UCSD,
proposes "the index h,
defined as the number of papers with citation number higher or equal to h,
as a useful index to characterize the scientific output of a researcher."
Here is a partial list of computer science researchers
who each has an h index of 40 or higher according to
Google Scholar.
The list has about 1,000 entries and includes
1 Nobel Laureate,
34 Turing Award winners,
73 members of the National Academy of Engineering,
19 members of the National Academy of Sciences,
335 ACM Fellows, and
183 IEEE Fellows.
One can wonder how large a percentage of computer scientists are on the list.
In May 2016, DBLP
listed about 1.7 million authors of computer science papers.
So, we can estimate that
( 1,000 / 1.7 million ) = 0.06 percent of computer scientists
are on the list.

I made the most recent update on Jan 29, 2017.
I do maintain the list: mostly, I add people and update
numbers upon request and when I happen to notice a high h index.
Some of the numbers on this page are the results of counting efforts
by the listed people themselves.
I have computed some of the numbers myself by comparing output from
Google Scholar
with other listings of research papers, such as from personal webpages or
DBLP.
Whenever I notice that a person listed on this page has an entry on
Google Scholar Citations, I create a link to that entry.
