Top 100 most-cited papers in substance abuse
Description
In October 2020, the journals under the 2019 JCR Substance Abuse category, the Science Citation Index (SCIE) (n = 20) and the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) (n = 36) were identified. A total of 40 journals were selected by excluding duplicates. Subsequently, a search was carried out in the WOS combining the names of the 40 journals using the Boolean operator ‘OR’ in the area ‘publication name’ with no restriction of time, type of study, language or availability. A total of 127906 studies were obtained.
After sorting them with the ‘times cited’ option, the only inclusion criterion was being one of the 100 most cited studies in the SA category.
