The fascinating part is papers like Realtivity just don't get the citations so they don't get into the top 100 - if you work out the 100 by citations.
Fascinated to see if there is a list of "the 25 scientific papers you must read before you die" - much like the list of films Empire will publish etc.
If I put 90 minutes into a paper as often as I do into a movie I might actually know something :-)
- rsfern 5y agoAnother commenter linked a nature article with the top 100 papers by citation, and they start by pointing out that a bunch of Nobel-winning work didn’t make the list I think the Nobel list would be a different sort than your 25 must read list, but maybe it’s a good place to start
- lifeisstillgood 5y agoYeah the video itself pointed out that using citations was not perfect. And yes, the nobel winning papers for the last century will be interesting too.
