In 2011, a paper was published in JPD by Aaron Sorenson and David Weedon in which the authors listed the top 100 most-cited authors in the field of Parkinson's disease. As noted in the paper's abstract:
"The authors have compiled a list of the 100 most cited researchers in Parkinson's disease since 1985 as a means to assess productivity and impact. Within the total-citations ranking, “broad impact” citations were used as a way of identifying those researchers whose work is cited widely beyond the Parkinson's disease research community."
A longer list was compiled during that research process and here are the top 250 authors for the years 1985 to 2010 (the first 100 of which appeared in the published paper in Table 1).
