The top 100 cited articles in urology
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: We identified and analyzed the characteristics ofthe 100 most frequently cited articles published between 1965and 2007 in journals pertaining to urology and related fields.Methods: We selected 69 of the highest impact urology and subspecialtyjournals and 22 of the highest impact general medicaland medical research journals from the 2006 edition of JournalCitation Reports: Science edition. We identified the 100 mostfrequently cited urological articles published in these 91 journalsusing the Science Citation Index Expanded (1965–present).We reviewed and analyzed the articles.Results: The top 100 articles were cited a mean of 629 times(range 418–1435) and published between 1965 and 2003,with 89% published after 1979 and 54% published in the1990s. Fifteen journals were represented, led by The NewEngland Journal of Medicine (30), The Journal of Urology (22)and Lancet (11). Ninety publications originated from NorthAmerica (81) or the United Kingdom (9). Johns Hopkins University(13), Harvard University (5), Stanford University (5) andUniversity of California, Los Angeles (5) published the most articles.Five ur ol ogists were first authors of 2 or more of the articles.Fifty-six articles reported observational studies. Oncology(51) and transplantation (20) were the most commonly representedurological subfields.Conclusion: These top-cited articles in urology identify topics andauthors that contributed to major advances in urology. Observationalstudies and randomized controlled trials in oncology publishedin high-impact urological or medical journals constitutethe most common type of highly cited publications.Renseignements généraux : Nous avons dégagé et analysé les caractéristiquesdes 100 articles les plus souvent cités publiés dansdes périodiques spécialisés en urologie et dans les domaines connexesentre 1965 et 2007.Méthodologie : Soixante-neuf des périodiques les plus influents enurologie et dans les domaines connexes et 22 des périodiques lesplus influents en médecine générale et en recherche médicale ontété choisis à partir du Journal Citation Reports: Science Edition de2006. Les 100 articles les plus souvent cités dans le domaine del’urologie ayant paru dans ces 91 périodiques ont été dégagés àpartir du Science Citation Index Expanded (de 1965 à aujourd’hui).Les articles ont été passés en revue et analysés.Résultats : Les 100 principaux articles ont été cités en moyenne629 fois (écart : 418 à 1435) et publiés entre 1965 et 2003; 89 %ont été publiés après 1979 et 54 %, dans les années 90. Quinzepériodiques étaient représentés, avec en tête le New EnglandJournal of Medicine (30), le Journal of Urology (22) et Lancet (11).Quatre-vingt-dix périodiques étaient publiés en Amérique duNord (81) ou au Royaume-Uni (9). Johns Hopkins (13), Harvard (5),Stanford (5), et l’Université de la Californie à Los Angeles (5) sontles universités qui ont publié le plus d’articles. Cinq urologuesétaient les premiers auteurs de plus de 2 articles. Cinquante-sixarticles signalaient les résultats d’études observationnelles.L’oncologie (51) et les transplantations (20) étaient les sousdomainesles plus souvent représentés.Conclusion : Ces articles les plus cités en urologie permettent decerner les auteurs et les sujets qui se trouvent au coeur des principalespercées dans le domaine de l’urologie. Les études observationnelleset les études contrôlées avec randomisation publiéesdans les périodiques influents traitant d’urologie ou de médecinegénérale constituent le type le plus fréquemment observé parmiles articles les plus souvent cités.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
