Highly and most cited topics
-
Highly cited papers: As per its definition, a highly cited paper received enough citations as of four to 5 months ago to place it in the top 1% of its academic field based on a highly cited threshold for the field and publication year. Geosciences rank in 12th place in research fields of highly cited papers according to InCites Essential Science Indicators of Clarivate Analytics. EES currently (as of 31.12.2020) has 16 highly cited papers belonging to the top 1% cited in July/August 2020 in its research fields. Water-related topics belong to the most frequently cited category (Fig. 2a).
