- Abstract
<bold>Context: </bold>The highest cited papers published in a journal provide a snapshot of the clinical practice and research in that specialty and/or region.<bold>Aims: </bold>The aim of this study was to determine the highest cited papers published in Neurology India and analyze their attributes.<bold>Setting and Design: </bold>This study was a citation analysis of all papers published in Neurology India since online archiving commenced in 1993.<bold>Methods: </bold>All papers published in Neurology India between the years 1993-2014 were listed. The number of times each paper had been cited up till the time of performing this study was determined by performing a Google Scholar search. Published papers were then ranked on the basis of total times cited since publication and the annual citation rate. Statistical Techniques: Simple counts and percentages were used to report most results. The mean citations received by papers in various categories were compared using the Student's t-test or a one-way analysis of variance, as appropriate. All analyses were carried out on SAS University Edition (SAS/STAT®, SAS Institute Inc, NC, USA) and graphs were generated on MS Excel 2016.<bold>Results: </bold>The top papers on the total citations and annual citation rate rank lists pertained to basic neuroscience research. The highest cited paper overall had received 139 citations. About a quarter of the papers published had never been cited at all. The major themes represented were vascular diseases and infections.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>The highest cited papers reflect the diseases that are of major concern in India. Certain domains such as trauma, allied neurosciences, and basic neuroscience research were underrepresented.
