Top Cited Articles of All Time (1993 edition)
The 40 most highly cited papers of All Time (1993 edition)
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. More information about citations in INSPIRE can be
found here.
Also note that the counts shown, and used in the rankings,
are the counts as of 2018-01-08. Further, the counts shown by the ranking are only
the cites satisfying the criteria for that list. Actual citation numbers in
the database may change as corrections are made and papers are added, the
links will take you to the updated numbers.
