Oncology 6,296 With this presentation of "Citation Superstars," The Scientist continues a new monthly feature. The editors hope that this feature will prove interesting to readers and, perhaps, indicate what types of research - as well as which researchers - are reshaping the scientific landscape. The citation counts are taken from the Institute for Scientific Information's Science Citation Index (SCI). Authors received credit for citations whether or not their names appeared first on a paper. The data for 1965-78 appeared some nine years ago but were then presented in alphabetical order (E. Garfield, "The 1,000 Contemporary Scientists Most-Cited 1965-1978," Current Contents, (41): 5-14, 12 October 1981; reprinted in Essays of an Information Scientist, vol. 5, Philadelphia, ISI, 1983, pages 269-78). The data for 1973-84 appear here for the first time. An asterisk indicates a Nobel Prize winner.
