I remember how I was googling deeply for the most cited papers / science articles of all time and didn't find anything.
I naively thought that it is a simple thing and someone have that "collection of best articles".
Things are going to more like "this is hard problem"

- tgb 9y agoSome fields cite more and publish more than other fields. It doesn't really make any sense to compare citation counts between fields. Moreover, Google's ranking removes review articles and many other things - it purely looks for 'new research' articles. Those get cited much less frequently than reviews or methods papers.
