Abstract:
Background: The number of citations an article receives reflects its
scientific impact. The introduction of internet-based resources to search
and access articles has made it possible to review even whole scientific
areas. This study identifies the top 50 most-cited articles over the last 25
years in speciality journals dedicated to anaesthesia and pain,
respectively.

Methods: Twenty-two journals listed in The Science Citation Index
Expanded(TM) in the field of anaesthesiology and nine major medical journals
were screened using the cited reference option to identify articles cited
more than 100 times between 1986 and 2002. The top 50 articles in speciality
journals and the top 10 articles in major medical journals concerning
anaesthesia and pain were retrieved for further analysis.

Results: The most-cited articles in speciality journals were published from
1986 to 1997 and received a mean of 222 (anaesthesia) and 279 (pain)
citations. Sixty-seven  institutions produced the most-cited articles and of
those 28 were located outside North America. The articles were published in
six journals led by the Journal of Pain (50 articles) and Journal of
Anaesthesiology (39 articles). Forty-seven articles were classified as
related to clinical experience, 33 were review articles, and 20 discussed
basic science.

Conclusion: To make an article a possible 'citation classic' in
anaesthesiology, it should be published in one of six leading journals and
originate from an established institute in North America. Internet resources
to publish and cite the literature have to date not advanced any article
published in the last 5 years to the top 100 list.
