Michael Levitt's Most Cited Publications

Michael Levitt's Most Cited Publications (June 2001)

There are a total of 10,012 citations for 109 papers so the mean impact is 92 citations/paper. This file has not been updated as it seems like a waste of time. Citations increase with time although I am partial to papers where the citation rate increases with time as these seem to be like good wine maturing slowly,
