need to find a list of top cited papers in any of the disciplines (economics, sociology, business, etc.) and then prioritize making summaries and best listing them on the acawiki wiki.
There is no comprehensive, up-to-date, cross-disciplinary, open-source list of the top cited research papers from peer-reviewed journals. It would be an interesting exercise to devise such a list by mining search queries from Google Scholar, which return the number of citations for each result. We could grow our own list organically by sending out a brief survey (which could also serve as a subtle announcement/advertisement for AcaWiki). We could also rely on a list of most-cited authors, which is a little easier to come by. Below I have included some possible reference material: * What papers should everyone read? - Theoretical Computer Science http://j.mp/9u43c4 * The five most cited papers http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/10/09/1065676090723.html Most Cited Computer Science Articles * http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/stats/articles * List of important publications in computer science http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_important_publications_in_computer_science * The 100 Most-Cited Scientists http://in-cites.com/nobel/index.html * ISIHighlyCited.com http://hcr3.isiknowledge.com/ http://isihighlycited.com/ * Most cited authors of books in the humanities, 2007 http://archive.sciencewatch.com/sept-oct2003/sw_sept-oct2003_page2.htm * Most-Cited Researchers, 1983-2002 http://archive.sciencewatch.com/sept-oct2003/sw_sept-oct2003_page2.htm * Research Papers in Economics http://repec.org/ * Google Scholar - a new data source for citation analysis http://www.harzing.com/pp_gs.htm * Journal Citation Reports http://wokinfo.com/products_tools/analytical/jcr/ * Google Scholar: The New Generation of Citation Indexes http://www.librijournal.org/pdf/2005-4pp170-180.pdf * International Journal of Libraries and Information Services http://www.librijournal.org/
* SciVerse ScienceDirect Top 25 Articles http://top25.sciencedirect.com/
Here are the top 20 domains from acawiki. We need a page to list the top 5 paper targets for each domain, and then start assigning them! What should that page be? Anthropology Arts and Literarure Astronomy Biology Business Chemistry Clinical Research Computer Science Economics Education Engineering Geosciences Health Mathematics Medicine Neuroscience Philosophy Physics Psychology Sociology
