Top Cited HEP Articles

Most Cited E-Prints
1994-1996 Edition


High-energy physics e-prints with the most citations in the HEP(PREPRINT) database

All listed papers were first posted to one of the high-energy physics archives in Los Alamos. Many of them were eventually printed in journals. Citations from the e-print phase are combined with citations to journal versions. The list shows all e-prints with 140 or more citations. Positions are based on the total number of citations in the HEP database [SLAC-SPIRES] on December 31, 1996. The ranking may change with time. For your convenience, pointers to the today's number of citations are also added.
