Abstract: I propose the index (h) over bar ("hbar"), defined as the number of 
papers of an individual that have citation count larger than or equal to the (h) 
over barh of all coauthors of each paper, as a useful index to characterize the 
scientific output of a researcher that takes into account the effect of multiple 
authorship. The bar is higher for (h) over bar.
