The Most Cited Papers in Geology (1997-2007)
Thomson Scientific has announced the results of a survey analyzing citation patterns in the field of geology.

In the July/August issue of Science Watch, data from 224 journals and more than 150,000 papers published during the last decade (and listed in Thomson Scientific’s Web of Science) were analyzed to rank institutions, authors and journals based on total citations.

“When institutions are ranked according to total citations, larger institutions tend to have an advantage due to the sheer abundance of published papers they produce,” said Christopher King, editor of Science Watch. “Therefore, it is not surprising that large governmental institutions such as the U.S. Geological Survey and NASA top this list of geology research institutions.”

Includes list: Top Ten Institutions Ranked by Citations 1996-2007
Top 3:
