The U.K.'s Citation Elite, 2003-07

According to a survey of high-impact United Kingdom research based on highly cited papers published between 2003 and 2007, the universities of Oxford and Cambridge achieved the highest overall citation totals, while the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and European Bioinformatics Institute were tops in cites-per-paper scores. Two years have passed since this publication examined university research in the United Kingdom (Science Watch, 17[3]: 1-2, May/June 2006). Now, Science Watch turns its focus back toward the British Isles, with a survey of top-cited U.K. institutions and researchers, based on their representation in a selection of "high-impact" research over the last five years.
