Table I: Citations of the 20 most cited physicists from January 1981
to June 1997
[. . .]
Table II: Citations of the 20 most cited chemists from January 1981
to June 1997

[. . .] It is interesting to note that only
two of them (P.W. Anderson, and K. A. Muller, at the 13th and
17th places, respectively), out of the 20 most cited physicists,
and six (J. A. Pople, R. R. Ernst, J. M. Lehn, R. E. Smalley, E.
J. Corey, and K. Tanaka, at the 2nd, 4th, 10th, 12th, 16th, and
