h-index is the usual measure of a scientist's impact. However, it produces unrealistic results in many cases. For example, the h-index of Einstein turns out to be 27, much lower than Edward Witten's 125. This can hardly be acceptable. So, this man came up with a new method of counting citations, the quantity of which he calls E-index.
