Top 100 Most Influential Articles in the Field of Myeloid Neoplasms: A Bibliometric Study

Bibliometric analyses are a tool employed by researchers and funding agencies to establish the most important areas of research in a particular field, and to determine which foci need increased research attention. Such analyses have been published in a variety of clinical specialties; however, a detailed literature search showed that no such study has been done for "myeloid neoplasms." In order to bridge this gap, we conducted a citation analysis of the 100 most influential articles on myeloid neoplasms.

Two independent researchers extracted relevant articles from the Scopus database. These articles were then ranked in descending order of citations and a list of the top 100 original articles was made. A further, more detailed list was created containing significant discriminating characteristics.

The top cited articles were published over a period of 47 years, with most of them being published in the 5-year interval of 2001-2005. The citations ranged from 636 to 4,039. The articles originated from 28 different countries. Most of the articles were published in high-impact journals.

Our analysis sheds light on the quality of work and driving trends, listing the most cited and impactful guideline articles within this field and aiding clinicians.
