From the Report:
Last month ScienceWatch.com presented its annual “Top 20″ listings of countries (across all 22 fields), which as of the latest bimonthly update of Essential Science Indicators, achieved particular distinction based on their papers published in Thomson Reuters-indexed journals from January 1998 through August 31, 2008, a 10-year plus 8-month period.
This month we present the highest-cited paper from each of the top 20 countries. In this ranking, all of the paper’s authors are based in the given country, as opposed to multinational collaborations. Addresses have been truncated.
