Top Cited Articles during 2004 by astro-ph
The 50 most highly cited papers during 2004 cited by papers in the astro-ph archive
Keep in mind that citation counts can never be exact,
there is something like a 5% error in most of these numbers. Please do not fret
about number 32 versus 33, as this is often not a statistically
significant difference. Remember the detailed warning
about the accuracy of these counts.
Also note that the counts shown, and used in the rankings, are the
counts as of Sat 17-Feb-2007. Further, the counts shown by the ranking are only the cites satisfying the
criteria for that list.
Actual citation numbers in the database may change as corrections are made and papers
are added, the links will take you to the updated numbers. The lists, however, will not update.
