Summary
This study identified the 100 most cited tobacco research articles published since 2005. The findings highlight key publications and subject areas driving impact in tobacco control research.
Area of Science:
- Tobacco research
- Bibliometrics
- Publication impact
Background:
- Citation counts and publication numbers are common metrics for academic productivity.
- Previous studies examined these metrics in tobacco control research.
- The evolving landscape of tobacco research necessitates a re-evaluation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify the 100 top-cited tobacco-related articles published from 2005 onwards.
- To categorize and describe the fields of study represented by these high-impact articles.
Main Methods:
- Searched the Scopus database to identify top-cited tobacco articles.
- Collected data on publication details, country of origin, and subject categories.
- Two independent investigators analyzed the selected articles.
Main Results:
- Identified 100 top-cited articles published between 2005-2014 in 58 journals.
- The United States was the primary country of origin.
- Observation, basic science, and review articles were the most common types, predominantly in medicine.
- A significant association was found between journal impact factor and article citation count (p=0.03).
Conclusions:
- This review identifies high-impact articles in tobacco research.
- The findings serve as a reference for evaluating influential publications.
- Understanding these articles can inform current and future tobacco research endeavors.

02:41Protein Complex Assembly
16.9K
Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types. Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.

03:40Dimensional Analysis
65.3K
Dimensional analysis, also known as the factor label method, is a versatile approach for mathematical operations. The main principle behind this approach is: the units of quantities must be subjected to the same mathematical operations as their associated numbers. This method can be applied to computations ranging from simple unit conversions to more complex and multi-step calculations involving several different quantities and their units.

01:52Atomic Mass
70.6K
Atoms — and the protons, neutrons, and electrons that compose them — are extremely small. For example, a carbon atom weighs less than 2 × 10−23 g. When describing the properties of tiny objects such as atoms, we use appropriately small units of measure, such as the atomic mass unit (amu). The amu was originally defined based on hydrogen, the lightest element, then later in terms of oxygen. Since 1961, it has been defined with regard to the most abundant isotope of carbon, atoms of which...

02:23RNA Editing
9.9K
RNA editing is a post-transcriptional modification where a precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) nucleotide sequence is changed by base insertion, deletion, or modification. The extent of RNA editing varies from a few hundred bases, in mitochondrial DNA of trypanosomes, to a just single base, in nuclear genes of mammals. Even a single base change in the pre-mRNA can convert a codon for one amino acid into the codon for another amino acid or a stop codon. This type of re-coding can significantly affect the...

03:38Measurement: Standard Units
82.3K
Every measurement provides three kinds of information: the size or magnitude of the measurement (a number), a standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit), and an indication of the uncertainty of the measurement. While the number and unit are explicitly represented when a quantity is written, the uncertainty is an aspect of the errors in the measurement results.

01:25What is Population Genetics?
65.0K
A population is composed of members of the same species that simultaneously live and interact in the same area. When individuals in a population breed, they pass down their genes to their offspring. Many of these genes are polymorphic, meaning that they occur in multiple variants. Such variations of a gene are referred to as alleles. The collective set of all the alleles within a population is known as the gene pool.
