This year continues the trend of last year, where the most cited scientific journals mostly had a medical focus. 5 of the 10 most cited journals this year are devoted to the topic of medicine and health.

Many magazine titles entered the list for the second time, but some – SSRN Electronic JournalSustainability and The New England Journal of Medicine – became more popular with our users compared to the previous year.

The most cited article this year was O que é a fenomenologia? A fenomenologia de Merleau-Ponty (1952), which was the leader of the rating last year as well. Articles Biological Clocks and the Practice of PsychiatryArtificial Intelligence in Dental Medicine and Free Meixner Distributions also maintained their popularity among Grafiati users and were included in both this year's and last year's ranking of articles.

Among the ten articles, four specifically center around medical themes, reflecting a prevailing trend observed in journals. The remaining six articles exhibit a diverse range, delving into topics ranging from musical creativity to fishing efficiency. This diversity is particularly exciting for us, as it underscores our commitment to offering bibliography tools that cater to scholars from a broad spectrum of disciplines.

Top 10 Non-Article Sources
