The 1976 Articles Most Cited in 1976 and 1977.2. Physical Sciences

Number 17 April 23, 1979

We recently published a list of the1976 life sciences articles most cited in1976- 1977.1 In this second part of thereport, we cover the physical sciences.The list in Figure 1 shows some of the“hot” areas of research in 1976 and1977. And data from the 1978 ScienceCitation Index@ (SCP ) indicate thatmany continue to be hot. We havemade no attempt to reorder the listbecause of 1978 data. However, it isprovided to supplement data from1976-1977.

In studies of this kind it is necessaryto include citation data from two yearsdue to the chronological artifact of an-nual citation studies. Obviously, a paperpublished late in 1976 has a smallerchance of being cited before the year isout than a paper published early in1976. Many papers published in 1976received no citations that year, butenough in 1977 to appear on our list.

The typical 1976 paper published in ajournal covered by the SCZ would becited once or twice in 1976-1977.However, the least-cited paper on thislist received 26 citations, and the most-cited paper received 178. The averagepaper on the list received 42.4 citationsin 1976-77, of which 9.9 were in 1976and 32.5 in 1977. In 1978 there is a slightfalling-off to 29.8 citations. Thk declinereflects the intense activity in severalfields, especially particle physics. Manyof the papers of prime interest in 1976and 1977 have already been supersededby more recent work. In particle phys-ics, for example, 26 of the 33 articles

received fewer citations in 1978 than in1977.

While physics papers dominate thelist in Figure 1, this doesn’t meanphysics is more significant than theother disciplines represented. It simplyindicates that certain physics specialtieswere quite active in the period followingthe appearance of these papers in 1976.

The names of three 1978 Nobel prizewinners appear on the list. Co-a”uthorsof the paper with P. G. Wannier in theastronomy section are Amo A. Penziasand Robert W. Wifson, who receivedthe physics award for discovering thebackground radiation which was inter-preted as the remnant of the “big bang.”Their 1976 paper dealt with interstellarclouds. Also on the list is Peter Mit-chell, who won the chemistry prize forshowing how plants and animals convertnutrients into energy. Had we publishedthis study in the spring of 1977, asoriginally planned, the predictive valueof the list would have been more dra-matic.

Twenty-nine journals which pub-lished the 100 articles are shown inFigure 2. Physical Review Letters con-tributed 41 papers and Physics Letters Bseven. Thus, these two journals con-tributed about half of the papers.

These papers come from 86 institu-tions, shown in Figure 3, of which fifty-five are in the United States. Eight arelocated in the Federal Republic of Ger-many, and five in France. England andAustralia are represented by three in-stitutions; Israel and Japan by two. Den-

mark, Sweden, Italy, Canada, Belgium,the IJSSR, Switzerland, and the Nether-lands are represented by one institutioneach.

All but one were originally publishedin English. The review paper on laserisotope separation by V. S. Letokhovand C. B. Moore was originally pub-lished in the Russian journal, Kvan-fovaya Elektronika and later appearedin the translation journal Soviet Jour-nal of Quantum Electronics, Note,however, that [his paper was co-au-thored by an American scientist. TheRussian version was cited 14 times in1976-1977 and 15 times in 1978. TheEnglish version was cited 28 times in1976- 1977 and22 timesin 1978. Part oneof this review article did not make theIist.z It was cited “only” 35 times in1976-1978.

Astronomy and astrophysics are thesubjects of nine papers on the list.Topics dealt with here include X-rayastrxmomy, black holes. and the com-position of the atmosphere of Mars.

Three papers concern “supergravity, ”an extension of general relativity, It isuncertain who coined [he term, butphysicists began using it ar<,und 1973. ]Supergravity is a mathematical con-struction which aims at a unified fieldtheory along the lines of general relativi-ty.

Field theory is the subject of eightpapers. Modem quantum field the~wv isthe study of the fundamental forces ofthe universe. It seeks to show how dif-ferent kinds of particles transf(mm andinteract. For example, the forces ofelectromagnetism arise from the ex-change of photons between chargedparticles. Physicists postulate thegraviton to explain gravity. The ultimategoal of field theory is to explain all theforces in the universe in terms of a sin-gle theoretical framework, or unifiedfield theory. So far physicists have nar-rowed the kinds of forces down to four:electromagnetism, gravitation, a strongnuclear interaction, and a weak nuclearinteraction. In June 1978, 20 physicistsfrom five institutions performed an ex-periment at the Stanford Linear Ac-celerator Center (SLAC) which pro-vided evidence supporting a theorywhich unifies electromagnetism and (heweak nuclear interaction. ~~ If thewhole theory is verified, it means that

all of the forces in the universe are theproduct of-—-at most—three basicforces, not four. So the SLAC experi-ment shows that progress has beenmade toward a unified field theory.{’

Field theory in solid state physics isthe subject of two papers. Solid statephysics is the study of the physical prop-erties of solid materials, particularlycrystals, glasses, and polymers. Fieldtheory is one approach which enablessolid state physicists to understand theproperties of crystals at the atomiclevel.

Eleven more papers are about sol-id state physics in general. Five ofthem concern a compound called tetra-thiafulvalene-tetracy anoquinodime-thane (TFF-TCNQ). TTF-TCNQ is anorganic semiconductor. Semiconduc-tors can act as both insulators and con-ductors of electricity. This “on-off” ca-pacity makes them potentially useful inelectrical components and computer

memory devices. Inorganic semicon-ductors, usually made of silicon orgermanium, cannot be synthesized fromcommonly available materials. TTF-TCNQ semiconductors can be. Thismakes it desirable to use organic com-pounds similar to TTF-TCNQ in a widerange of devices. Author Y. Tomkie-wicz tells us that TTF-TCNQ has not yetfound wide practical applications. Butlaboratory studies have created consid-erable excitement among physicists.T

About one-third of the papers on thelist, or 33 of them, deal with elementaryparticle physics. This branch of physicsis sometimes called “high energy phys-ics” or simply “particle physics, ” It isprimarily concerned with the quest for afundamental theory to explain the ex-istence, properties, and interactions ofthe various kinds of subatomic particles.

Theoretical models involving thehypothetical quarks have enabled physi-cists to explain the behavior of hundredsof known subatomic particles.However, nobody has yet detected aquark in isolation. High energy physi-cists are also searching for a simpletheory explaining the existence andbehavior of the quarks themselves. It isnoteworthy that the average number ofauthors on these papers is f4.4. Further-more, each paper involves about half adozen institutions.

Ten papers are about atomic andmolecular physics. These disciplines areconcerned with understanding the prop-erties and interactions of atoms andmolecules and with the practical tech-niques which exploit this understanding.

Two papers are in nuclear physics.This specialty has practical applicationsin weaponry, power, and medicine.

Lasers and fiber optics are the topicsof five papers. The many uses of lasersin communications, medicine, andother areas are well known. Opticalfibers, which conduct light alongselected paths, are afso useful to com-munications. Today they are beingwidely used in telephone communica-tions. The Soviet scientist Letokhov,co-author of the review on lasers men-tioned earlier, chose to publish hisother paper on lasers in English.

Two papers are in chemical physics.Seven papers concern physicalchemistry. Four of the physical chemis-try papers have possible applications tosolar energy conversion.

Three papers deal with inorganic ororganometallic chemistry. Organicchemistry is the topic of four morepapers. In general, papers in this groupare method papers. One is by R.Huisgen, who is not new to our biblio-metric studies. He is one of the 300most-cited authors whose work waspublished 1961-1976.8

We have put Nobelist Peter Mitchell’spaper at the end of the list under

Biophysics. We were unsure if thispaper belonged in the life or physicalsciences list. Some may quarrel with thedecision to put it on this list. However,when we contacted the author, Mitchellhimself expressed uncertainty about thearticle’s placement. Such borderlinecases indicate that even the dichotomybetween life and physical sciences maybreak down as a way of classifyingresearchers.

The most-cited paper on the list is byG. Goldhaber and 40 co-authors. Mostof the authors of this paper also co-authored the second most cited paperby I. Perruzzi and 39 others. Both ofthese papers report the results of ex-periments at the SLAC-LawrenceBerkeley Laboratory that confirmed thepredicted existence of a new subatomicparticle, the charmed meson.

Only six papers listed are reviews. Inthe life sciences group, one-fifth of thepapers were reviews. The meaning ofthis difference needs some thoughtfulstudy. Our list of 1975 physical sciencesarticles, which was also dominated byparticle physics, contained no reviews.~When discoveries were being made asrapidly as they were in particle physicsduring 1976, maybe it was not possibleto prepare meaningful reviews. None ofthe physical sciences reviews were inparticle physics, but rather in astrophys-ics, lasers and fiber optics, chemicalphysics, physical chemistry, and organicchemistry.

Since elementary particle physics wasvery active in 1976, we were curious tosee what the 1976 list would look likewithout the domination of these particlephysics papers. We found that the next33 most-cited items are nine morepapers in particle physics, seven in solidstate physics, five in astrophysics andastronomy, three in organic chemistry,two in physical chemistry, two in fieldtheory in solid state physics, and oneeach in nuclear physics, atomic andmolecular physics, chemical physics, in-
