RePEc has been publishing for several years now a list of the most cited papers and articles cataloged in its database according to three criteria, recently expanded to six. By popular demand, we now publish also a list of the most cited recent papers and articles. The selection criterion here is that the last know version has been published five or less years ago. That may sound like a long period, but considering the publication lags we suffer, I think it is reasonable. Thus, currently, articles (and papers) published in 2002 or thereafter qualify. Within a few days, those from 2002 will be dropped, so enjoy them while you can…
At the same time, the list of the most cited items has been expanded. Previously, only the top 200 were released, now we show the top 1‰. This list thus gets longer as RePEc expands and stands currently at 559. Again, the list is available according to six different criteria. So, check out whether your favorite papers are listed. And remember, all this citation data is still experimental as we try to improve on its quality, but still quite informative.
