About these lists
JAMA published between 1,622 and 1,760 eligible articles a year in the years covered, so each list shows the top 50. Every entry shows its rank, the share of the year’s cohort it beats, its citation count and, where OpenAlex has one, the abstract. Authors can claim an entry for a badge and a CV line, or ask to have their name withheld.
