Dual Growing Rod Technique for the Treatment of Progressive Early-Onset Scoliosis 2005 · 502 citations

What are hit papers?

Paper score: A paper's citations measured against the top-1% bar of its own field and year: the square root of citations ÷ bar, so 1 means right at the bar and 2 means four times its citations. The bar blends the citation counts that enter the top 1% of the paper's subfields in its year (weighted 89.5%), of those subfields over all years (0.5%) and of its year across all fields (10%); a subfield and year with fewer than 400 papers takes its year's bar. Papers from 2026 are not scored yet: in an unfinished year, when a paper appeared matters more than how it is cited.

Hit paper: A paper cited at least 1.5× the top-1% bar of its field and year: a paper score of at least √1.5.

Rankless uses publication and citation data sourced from OpenAlex, an open and comprehensive bibliographic database. While OpenAlex provides broad and valuable coverage of the global research landscape, it—like all bibliographic datasets—has inherent limitations. These include incomplete records, variations in author disambiguation, differences in journal indexing, and delays in data updates. As a result, some metrics and network relationships displayed in Rankless may not fully capture the entirety of a scholar's output or impact.
