Table 1.

The scientific publications cited the most by the publications in our dataset. (These are the 10 scientific publications that appear the most in the list of references in our dataset. We take the list of references for each record in the data and count the number of times each of these references appears. The scientific articles and books in this table are not necessarily part of the dataset (appendix Ac). We can also examine which publications from our dataset are the most cited using their citation count from the WoS. This table can be found in appendix Ac.)
