Most Cited Papers Graph - Both the Highly Cited Papers graph and the Hot Papers graph provide citations received statistics.

• Hot Papers focus on citations to papers received going back 12 bi-monthly periods. These hot papers are selected by Thomson Reuters because of their unusually high citation activity.

• Highly Cited Papers focus on citations to papers received going back the last 10 years. Generally, citations to papers peak early, but some papers continue to be cited for many years depending on the type of paper, the field, and the nature of the findings.
