The data above were extracted from Thomson Scientific's Essential
Science IndicatorsSM database. This database, currently
covering the period January 1997 to August 2007, surveys only journal
articles (original research reports and review articles) indexed by Thomson
Scientific. Articles are assigned to a category based on the journals in
which they were published and Thomson Scientific’s
journal-to-category field definition scheme. Both articles tabulated and
citation counts to those articles are for the period indicated. Naturally,
scientists publishing large numbers of papers have a greater likelihood of
collecting more citations than scientists publishing fewer papers. This
ranking is by total citations.
For articles with multiple authors, each author receives full, not
fractional, citation credit. Another ranking could be based on citations
per paper, which reveals weighted impact. It should be noted that Malenka
and Nicholl, as well as Trojanowski and Lee, are co-authors on a number of
highly cited articles. Essential Science Indicators lists authors
ranked in the top 1% for a field over a given period, based on total
citations. For the current version, 3,214 authors are listed in the field
of neuroscience and behaviour, meaning that a total of 321,400 author
records were reviewed to obtain these results. Visit

Science Indicators from Thomson Scientific for more information.
