Citation Analysis: Doctors of the Decade, 1995-2005

Citation Analysis: Doctors of the Decade, 1995-2005
From the article:

Seven years ago this publication surveyed highly cited researchers in clinical medicine, based on papers published and cited between 1981 and 1998 (Science Watch, 10[3]: 1-2, May/June 1999). For a more-recent snapshot of medical research, we now turn to Thomson Scientific Essential Science Indicators (ESI) and a listing of high-impact authors in the field of clinical medicine over the last decade. In the first table below, are 20 researchers whose papers, published since 1995 in clinical-medicine journals tracked by ESI, have collectively garnered the highest numbers of citations.

Additionally, Science Watch ran down the master list of authors and, based on their highly cited papers and principal areas of concentration, manually assigned the top-cited names to Top Ten rankings in four broad specialty areas: epidemiology, oncology, cardiology, and general biomedical research. Find them in the tables below.

These lists, it should be emphasized, solely reflect papers published in Thomson-indexed journals of clinical medicine (including pertinent clinical-medicine papers published in Science, Nature, and other multidisciplinary journals). Some of the names on the main list—e.g., Bert Vogelstein, Kenneth W. Kinzler, John C. Reed—have also compiled substantial citation records based on papers published in journals of molecular biology & genetics, biochemistry, etc. The present survey, however, strictly demonstrates the extent to which these authors and the others have influenced the literature of clinical medicine.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
