Abstract: | The number of citations of an article in scientific journals reflects its impact on a specific biomedical field and its recognition
in the scientific community. In the present study, we identified and analyzed the characteristics of the 100 most frequently
cited articles published between 1970 and 2010 in journals pertaining to pain research and related fields. These articles
were identified using the database of the Science Citation Index (1970 to present). The most cited article received 3,017
citations and the least cited article received 302 citations, with a mean of 585 citations per article. These citation classics
were published in six high-impact journals, led by Pain (84 articles). Of the 100 articles, 39 were observational studies, 25 were review articles, and 20 concerned basic science.
The articles originated from 14 countries, with the United States contributing 47 articles; 67 institutions produced these
100 top-cited articles, led by National Institutes of Health of the United States (8 articles) and University College London
(6 articles); 18 persons authored 2 or more of the top-cited articles. This analysis of the top citation classics allows for
the recognition of major advances in pain research and gives a historical perspective on the scientific progress of this specialty. |
