Abstract

AbstractArticles and books cited ≥12 times in the Journal of the North American Benthological Society (J-NABS) between 1995 and 2000 were searched in the Science Citation Index (SCI), to determine the most-cited articles in benthic science, both within a specialized journal (J-NABS) and the general scientific literature (SCI). Both searches indicated that the river continuum concept (Vannote, R. L. et al. 1980. Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 37:130–137) was the most-cited article. General statistics texts, and methods and identification manuals, constituted most of the heavily cited books. Authors of the 10 most-cited J-NABS articles provided commentaries about key influences on their classic articles.
