Large Bowel Crohn’s surgery — most cited & most disruptive

The most-cited and most scientifically disruptive peer-reviewed papers on large-bowel Crohn's surgery, computed over the NIH Open Citation Collection.

Most disruptive — Large Bowel Crohn’s surgery

The disruption index (CD; Funk & Owen-Smith 2017) measures whether a paper eclipsed the work before it (+1) rather than reinforcing it (−1).
