ar-index
The ar-index (Jin 2007; Jin et al. 2007) is an adaptation of the R-index which includes time. Rather than being the square-root of the total citations within the core, it is the square-root of the citations per year within the core,
$$ar=\sqrt{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{h}{\frac{C_i}{Y-Y_i+1}}},$$where Y is the current year.
