The baseline time span for this database is 1999-December 31, 2009 (sixth
bimonthly period 2009). The resulting database contained 78,904 (10 years)
and 23,666 (2 years) papers. To construct the top 20 papers lists for
the past decade and the past two years, the papers were further narrowed
down by the title keywords "obes*." This
adjustment resulted in the top 20 papers being selected from a pool of
20,667 (10 years) and 6,213 (2 years) papers.
