Simple formula to calculation of the h-index
def hIndex(citations):
"""
https://github.com/kamyu104/LeetCode/blob/master/Python/h-index.py
:type citations: List[int]
:rtype: int
# Given an array of citations (each citation is a non-negative integer)
# of a researcher, write a function to compute the researcher's h-index.
#
# According to the definition of h-index on Wikipedia:
# "A scientist has index h if h of his/her N papers have
# at least h citations each, and the other N − h papers have
# no more than h citations each."
#
# For example, given citations = [3, 0, 6, 1, 5],
# which means the researcher has 5 papers in total
# and each of them had received 3, 0, 6, 1, 5 citations respectively.
# Since the researcher has 3 papers with at least 3 citations each and
# the remaining two with no more than 3 citations each, his h-index is 3.
#
# Note: If there are several possible values for h, the maximum one is taken as the h-index.

return sum(x >= i + 1 for i, x in enumerate(sorted( list(citations), reverse=True)))
