Organizational impact in the dermatologic literature.
We revisit our citation data derived from 58,201 articles published between 1981 and 1994 in the 17 top-ranked peer-reviewed international dermatology journals to identify the institutions that house the people who have made the greatest impact on the dermatologic literature during this period. Using these citation data, we estimate an institution's impact in 2 ways. First, institutions are ranked by the gross number of citations to articles from 1981 to 1994 accurred during this same period. To recognize institutions whose articles, on average, have received higher numbers of citations, we also rank institutions by the average number of citations received by each article published by a particular institution (blended impact factor).
