peter woit said:Overall, the list provides a very depressing view of the first six years of 21st century theoretical particle physics, with only eight post-2000 papers getting over 100 citations. These break up neatly into 4 hep-th string theory papers and 4 hep-ph phenomenology papers.
Peter Woit's topcite list is a compilation of the most highly cited papers in the field of theoretical physics. It is maintained by Peter Woit, a theoretical physicist and mathematician at Columbia University.
The topcite list is updated annually, typically in December or January.
The papers on the topcite list are selected based on their number of citations in the field of theoretical physics. The list includes papers from a variety of subfields, including particle physics, string theory, and quantum field theory.
No, the topcite list is not open for submissions. The papers are selected based on their citation count in the field of theoretical physics, and the list is curated by Peter Woit.
No, the topcite list is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all influential papers in theoretical physics. It is simply a compilation of the most highly cited papers in the field, as determined by the methodology used by Peter Woit.
