Top 20 Journals
REUTERs/Miguel Vidal
Given the topic of oil spills, it is no great surprise that a journal like Marine Pollution Bulletin tops the list of highly cited journals by both cites and papers. The journal lists are populated with many heavy-hitters in their field: of the 30 unique journals that make up these lists, 26 are listed among the top 50% in their fields in Essential Science IndicatorsSM from Clarivate, and six of these journals are in the top 10 in their fields in Essential Science Indicators.

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.
