Authors | Institutions | Journals | Nations
Because metabolic syndrome crosses paths with obesity, heart disease, and diabetes research, a great many of the papers on metabolic syndrome have been published in high-impact journals from these other fields, such as Circulation, Diabetes, and the International Journal of Obesity.
All of the 38 unique titles on the journal lists are in the top 50% in their fields in Essential Science IndicatorsSM from Clarivate. Fifteen of these titles are in the top 100 of their respective categories, five are in the top 20, four are in the top 10, and nine are among the top five.

Overall General Information
Top 20 Scientists, Institutions, Journals, & Nations
Citation tables allow us to map compelling trends:
- Are there particular nations or institutions that might be expected to dominate research in the Topic area, and do the numbers bear out these expectations, or are there surprises?
- Who are the leading scientists and where are they located?
While these tables cannot offer a complete picture, the number of trends and anomalies that can be spotlighted or connected across categories is striking. The tables often lead to renewed perspectives to further explore and validate.
What are Special Topics?
Special Topics, from ScienceWatch.com, is designed to complement Essential Science IndicatorsSM from Clarivate in providing citation analyses and commentary for selected scientific research areas that have experienced notable recent advances or are of special current interest.
