Highly Cited Work - A True Measure of Research Quality

While scientific publications report proven, solid findings, not all published journal articles are cited and used by other researchers to advance knowledge. The value of citation analysis as an indicator of research quality has been widely acknowledged; in fact, roughly half of all scientific publications are never cited at all. Ranking university programs by the frequency with which the published scholarship of their faculty is cited by others thus provides a valuable benchmark of research quality, arguably the best single measure available.**
