Abstract: A time-dependent h-type indicator is proposed. This indicator 
depends on the size of the h-core, the number of citations. received, and 
recent change in the value of the h-index. As such, it tries to combine in 
a dynamic way older information about the source (e.g., a scientist or 
research institute that is evaluated) with recent information.
