As you know, we are celebrating the journal’s 40th birthday by counting down the Top 40 most cited Dalton Transactions articles according to ISI*. Finally the moment to reveal the Top 10 is upon us! Drum roll please…..what is at number 1? Will it be Queen or The Beatles…. neither of course, but you can find out what exciting paper made it to this top spot below.
In addition all of these articles will be FREE for you to read until the end of January 2011. Catch up on the rest of the Top 40 articles and find out more about our plans for Dalton Transactions 40th birthday celebrations here.
