Here is a list of the fifty-one
most frequently
cited Australian
and New Zealand articles. We included fifty-one because
the last
two were cited the same number of
times. This study follows up on our
recent report on Australian
and
New Zealand journals. 1
The list we’ve published
here
differs from other lists of the type.
Only ten journals are involved. Two
of them published half the articles!
The ten journals are listed in Figure 1 with the number of the highly
cited articles each published.
We
also give the impact of the journals,
and other relevant data. These are
the Australian journals with highest impact. Journals that produce
most cited articles tend to have
higher impact.
Nine of the articles on this list
came from the Waiter and Eliza
Hall Institute of Medical Research
in Melbourne.
All except three of
the articles were written by scientists working in Australia and New
Zealand. The three exceptions were
botanists at English universities.
593
Of the 51 articles, two were published in the 1940s, ten in the 50s,
36 in the 60s, and three in 1970.
The two oldest articles on the list
are landmarks. The first is the 1947
paper of Burnet and Stone (number
46) on the receptor-destroying
enzyme of the cholera vibrio. Two
other articles (numbers 3 and 46)
with Bumet as author or coauthor
recall the contributions to immunology for which he is known. The
second of the older papers (number
6) is by J.F.J. Cade. Its impressive
citation count records the widespread interest during the past decade in the usefulness of lithium in
treatment
of certain mental disorders.
Among the articles published in
the 60s, many concern immune
phenomena.
Notable among these
articles are four (numbers 4, 15, 41
and 45) from a series of five articles
published in consecutive
pages of
volume 42 of the Australian Journal
of
Experimental
Medicine.

only 33 times
and didn’t make this
list of the top 51. Taken as a whole,
however,
the five parts of the
series
“Antigens
in Immunity”
have been cited 415 times. Had
they been published as one article,
that number of citations
would
have put the paper at the top of the
list in Figure 2.
The youngest
articles are the
three published in 1970 (items 9,
36, and 44): one on nonthermal
galactic radio sources; one on production of poly-unsaturated
milk fat
in domestic ruminants, and the Iaat
on a new approach of glomeruiovascular
renal
disease.
On
basis of 1976 citations, the first of
these 1970 articles seems to have
passed its citation peak. The other
two will be cited an estimated
1520 times in 1976, and so have rw$
reached their citation peak.
As the list of source journals in
Figure 1 indicates, the articles are
predominantly
biomedical
(26),
with chemistry
claiming about a
fourth (13), physics about a sixth
(8), and agriculture and related sciences about a twelfth (4).
The articles are listed in Figure
2, in decreasing numerical order of
their total citations

the
period 1%1-1975.
