Abstract
This study aimed to identify and analyze the characteristics of highly cited biomass articles in the Science Citation Index Expanded that were published between 1900 and 2013. Articles with at least 100 citations from the Web of Science Core Collection were selected, and the following characteristics were recorded: publication year, authors, institutions, countries/territories, journals, Web of Science categories, and citation life cycles. The results show that 3407 highly cited articles were published between 1966 and 2011, and the most highly cited biomass articles were published in Ecology. The USA produced 49% of all highly cited articles and contributed the most single, internationally collaborative, first-author, single-author, and corresponding-author articles. All of the top 13 most productive institutions were located in the USA. In addition, the Y-index was successfully applied to evaluate the publication characteristics of authors. Authors׳ publication intensities for highly cited articles in biomass research and their publication characteristics were analyzed.
