    Author: Nowrouzi-Kia B, Chidu C, Carter L, McDougall A, Casole J.
    Journal: Scand J Occup Ther; 2018 Jan; 25(1):15-26. PubMed ID: 28631516.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to identify and review the most cited articles in the occupational therapy field. METHODS: Using the multi-disciplinary Publish or Perish software to extract data, the top 50 lifetime and annual cited articles were examined. Studies were organized according to the following: year of publication, design, topic, number of authors, country of publication, and number of citations for each cohort. RESULTS: We found that randomized control trials were the dominant design type used in papers with the most lifetime (36.0%) and annual (26.0%) citations. Additionally, in both groups, the most frequently cited articles investigated predictors of functional outcome for patients. CONCLUSIONS: This comprehensive citation analysis will inform future research through its identification of major trends and well-established areas of study.
