SCHOLARRANK TOP 50 ARTICLES

ScholarRank enhances ScholarCheck by ranking the 50 articles cited the most by articles in the Law Journal Library, by cases available through HeinOnline and Fastcase, and accessed the most times by other HeinOnline users! Using the three ScholarCheck quantifying categories, an analysis is run called ScholarRank, in which all articles in HeinOnline are gathered and ranked in each category. Then the rankings are averaged to produce a list of the 50 highest-scoring articles. This list is available in the Law Journal Library under the Most-Cited browse option.
