In academic circles, citations are a measure of
success. Every published scientific paper cites the
papers that it is connected to or builds on -- and
while citations aren't the only measure of a paper's
importance or influence, citations are carefully
tracked and tallied. In this segment, We'll take a look
at some of the most-cited scientific research of the
year, and talk about why those oft-cited papers were
significant. We'll also find out what journal articles
have risen to the ranks of the 'modern classics,'
becoming some of the most-cited of all time. Teachers,
find more information about using Science Friday as a
classroom resource in the
Kids' Connection.
