Comment:

 Additional citation metrics that would be nice:

 1) Citations to papers written in the last 5 years (3rd column, ala
 beacom)

 2) Median number of citations  (and the mode as well) to go along with the
 mean which we currently display  (a la heath)

 3) 4th columns, Removing self-citations (or maybe do as a button "remove
 self-citations")  Note that there are two potential ways to do this

 a) removing all citations from papers in the set that is searched (so find
 aff SLAC would result in self citations being defined as any cite from
 within a SLAC paper)

 b) removing all citations from papers written by _any_ author of the cited
 paper

 c) possibly combining a and b, using #b only if the author is mentioned in
 the search...but I don't like this.

 4) show the total number of papers (and all other stats) that cite the
 relevant set.   I.e. I search for author witten.  He has 50,000 citations,
 but those 50K cites come from only 10K papers, which on average cite 5 of
 his papers.   This one is interesting, but less certain to be useful.


 1, 2 and 3 should be implemented, especially 1 and 2, which are easy.   3
 and 4 should be considered.
