Most cited papers, sortable by citations and release date
Citations are OpenAlex's own counts, from its 2026-09-23 snapshot, so the ranking can differ from Google Scholar or
Web of Science. A paper is listed for an institution when any of its authors gave it as an affiliation;
retracted papers and papers whose citation count cannot be traced to citing works are left out, and a preprint and the article it became are shown once. Release dates are OpenAlex's: where a source gave only a month or a year, that is what is shown.
