Sorry for the incomplete entry, due to accidental "Enter" hit, and I can't 
delete it now. 
Steps:
1. Enter an author with very few published papers but high citation 
number/paper. For example an author with 3 papers, one cited 35 times, one 10 
times, and another with 1 citation. Total being 46. 

Expected output: Total number of citations 46, cited publications: 3, H-index: 
2 (only 2 papers with 2 or more citations) 
What do I see instead: H-index: 10 

Operating System: Apple OS X 10.6.3 Browser: Safari

Is that a bug, or are you using a different calculation of the H-index?

It is because the paper (among your 2) with the lower citation count has been 
cited 10 times. The correct way is to count the number of papers that fall 
above the threshold and not take citation count of the lowest cited paper. I 
have the same problem - I have 16 papers with more than 16 citations, lowest 
citation count among them being 18 citations; the H-index value returned is 18, 
which is incorrect.
