High-impact papers presented at the IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference: the view in 2003

This paper identifies a selection of papers presented at the NSREC and published in the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NUCLEAR SCIENCE that have had measurable impact on radiation effects research and the radiation effects community. Criteria include papers selected for the Outstanding Paper Award at the NSREC or papers from the NSREC that have been highly cited by authors of other journal publications. Additionally, several papers are identified that, even though they are not selected by the above criteria, have impacted the technical areas served by the NSREC. Some observations are made on the methodology used here for selecting high-impact papers.
