The most 100 cited papers in addiction research on cannabis, heroin, cocaine and psychostimulants. A bibliometric cross-sectional analysis
2021, Drug and Alcohol DependenceCitation Excerpt :Another common limitation of citation counts is that there may be important differences between the impact assessment and the quality of the articles. The quality of a work is essentially characterized by the potential value each researcher attributes to it; therefore, this cannot easily be measured in an objective and quantitative way (Byrne and Chapman, 2005; Dumont, 1989; Smith, 2001). On the other hand, no distinction is made between positive and negative citations, so controversial and defective items can be highly cited (Ioannidis et al., 2014).
The 100 most cited papers about ependymomas
2020, Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery: Advanced Techniques and Case ManagementCitation Excerpt :However, in order to eliminate the adverse effect of that situation, we adopted the use of CY [26,27]. Additionally, the entity of self-citations, in-house citations (which means that multiple authors share authorship as a collaboration rather than a true representation of their own research), and omission bias (this happens when authors reference only those articles that are in accordance with their hypotheses) [28–30] could reduce the validity of our search analysis. Other widely accepted factors that weaken the safety of our remarks include the possibility of citation obliteration by incorporation.

Second, in-house citations, self-citations, and omission bias may affect the CC of articles.39-40 Finally, classic articles forming well-known facts about a specific topic are not cited because their information is regarded as an integral part of the basic knowledge about a specific topic.41
The Top-100 Most-Cited Articles on Meningioma
2017, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :For example, our number 1 article by Simpson received 1026 citations since its publication but was ranked the 12th most common according to CY. Third is the existence of self-citations, in-house citations (where multiple authors share authorship as a collaboration rather than a representation of their own work), and omission bias (when authors reference only articles that support their hypotheses).41-43 We quantified the number of self-citations in our top-100 list to assess their influence and discovered that, self-citation contributes to only 2.8% of the total citation counts on average; this represents only a small portion of such counts.
