Highly Cited Papers

The ‘Highly Cited Papers' category is an independent measure of research quality/outcome, which highlights work within the Department that is recognised as being important as reflected by citations. First and last author research papers that have received greater than 50 ISI citations since 2005 are listed as highly cited. Those tracking to be highly cited and to be well above the world standard as determined by ERA benchmarking (2006 > 46; 2007 > 40; 2008 > 30; 2009 > 24; 2010 > 16; 2011 > 8) are also listed.
