Most-Cited Paper From the Top 20 Countries, 2000-August 31, 2010
Country Feature, January 2011
Last month ScienceWatch.com presented its annual "Top 20" listings of countries (across all 22 fields), which as of the latest bimonthly update of Essential Science IndicatorsSM, achieved particular distinction based on their papers published in Clarivate-indexed journals from January 2000 through August 31, 2010, a 10-year plus 8-month period (fourth bimonthly).
This month ScienceWatch.com Webmaster Spyder Schafer presents the highest-cited paper from each of the top 20 countries. The countries are listed in the same order as they were last month–by total citations. In this ranking, all of the paper's authors are based in the given country, as opposed to multinational collaborations.
