Beginning in mid-February 2008, the 1997-2007 online version of the Science Watch® newsletter, ESI-Topics.com, and in-cites.com, will all be featured together on the redesigned ScienceWatch.com. All previous content from the three sites will be permanently archived, and remain accessible from any existing bookmarks to the archived pages. No new content will be added to this site. Updates and new content (updated biweekly) are available at ScienceWatch.com now.

Fast Breaking Papers

ESI Special Topics, August 2003

  Return to the main menu of Fast Breaking Papers

ISI Essential Science Indicators lists highly cited papers in 22 broad fields of science. These papers comprise the top 1% of papers in each field and each year from 1993 through 2003. The lists are updated every two months to reflect their current citation counts and also include new papers that enter the top percentile. ESI Special Topics here identifies a subset of these papers having the largest percentage increase in citations in their respective fields from one bimonthly update to the next. We call these "fast breaking papers" because they represent very recent scientific contributions that are just beginning to attract the attention of the scientific community. For full details and citation histories of these papers, see the ISI Essential Science Indicators listings of highly cited papers. 

The following Fast Breaking Papers had the highest percentage increase in citations in ISI Essential Science Indicators from the first bimonthly period of 2003 to the second bimonthly period of 2003.
