The 50 Topcited papers from SPIRES in 2007
March 27, 2008 | 6:05 am
Some of the people from SPIRES (Travis Brooks and Heath O’Connell) will be contributing here somewhat regularly. In honor of the debut of this resource, we’ve decided to make the first release of the 2007 Topcites here on symmetry breaking. We’ll be posting some followups with other topcites lists and other interesting stuff culled from the database in the following weeks.
In this year’s list there have not been many changes from last year in the top few. WMAP is still a very prominent force in the list, with other astrophysical and cosmological papers, such as the Supernova survey papers, also showing up near the top of the list. String theory and extra dimensions work also show in the top 10 with papers by Maldacena, Randall and Sundrum, Witten, and Gubser et al. The top position, as always, is reserved for the immensely useful “Review of Particle Physics” compiled by the Particle Data Group. Keep in mind that citation counts can never be exact, there is something like a 5% error in most of these numbers. Please do not fret about number 32 versus 33, as this is often not a statistically significant difference. Remember the detailed warning about the accuracy of these counts. See also the older topcite editions.
