About these lists
Molecules published between 1,733 and 9,060 eligible articles a year in the years covered, so each list shows the top 100. 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.
