What are hit papers?

Hit papers significantly outperform the citation benchmark for their cohort. A paper qualifies if it has ≥500 total citations, achieves ≥1.5× the top-1% citation threshold for papers in the same subfield and year (this is the minimum needed to enter the top 1%, not the average within it), or reaches the top citation threshold in at least one of its specific research topics.

Countries citing papers authored by Alan Turing

Since Specialization

Citations

This map shows the geographic impact of Alan Turing's research. It shows the number of citations coming from papers published by authors working in each country. You can also color the map by specialization and compare the number of citations received by Alan Turing with the expected number of citations based on a country's size and research output (numbers larger than one mean the country cites Alan Turing more than expected).

Physical SciencesHealth SciencesLife SciencesSocial Sciences

This network shows the impact of papers produced by Alan Turing. Nodes represent research fields, and links connect fields that are likely to share authors. Colored nodes show fields that tend to cite the papers produced by Alan Turing. The network helps show where Alan Turing may publish in the future.

Co-authorship network of co-authors of Alan Turing

This figure shows the co-authorship network connecting the top 25 collaborators of Alan Turing. A scholar is included among the top collaborators of Alan Turing based on the total number of citations received by their joint publications. Widths of edges represent the number of papers authors have co-authored together. Node borders signify the number of papers an author published with Alan Turing. Alan Turing is excluded from the visualization to improve readability, since they are connected to all nodes in the network.

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.
