The section TOP 10 has been changed since January 2013. We will present two lists of the 10 most quoted articles, published in the previous years. This time we will present the top articles 2011 (List 1) and 2010 (List 2). When and if an article will show an outstanding number of citations, Neuropenews will publish the abstract and a comment from the expert. The changes in the two lists will be eventually commented.
Top 10 – 2011
The TOP10 list of the articles published in 2011 is formed by many papers with less than 20 quotations, leaded however by the Revision of the McDonald Criteria for Multiple Sclerosis with 168 quotations so far!
This important paper will be commented here in the near future.
