Methods to Discovery Real Science

 I guess in a sense one is looking for the best resource information they can in order to have the right data in front f them when they are trying to understand the science process. So that what this psst is about in looking at methods in order to make such information available.

Most certainly the number of citations any scientific paper written may have.

With all the resources they need in one place, Essential Science Indicators users can determine the influential individuals, institutions, papers, publications, and countries in their field of study — as well as emerging research areas that could impact their work.

This unique and comprehensive compilation of science performance statistics and science trends data is based on journal article publication counts and citation data from Thomson Scientific databases. It is an ideal analytical resource for policymakers, administrators, analysts and information specialists in government agencies, universities, corporations, private laboratories, publishing companies and foundations, as well as members of the scientific press and recruiters.

 What first drew your interest to the research area of supersymmetry?
 
I first got interested in the mid-1970s, stimulated by the early papers of Wess, Zumino, and others formulating supersymmetric field theories. But it was rather academic curiosity until various people (Maiani, Witten, etc.) realized around 1980 that supersymmetric particles weighing about a TeV could help stabilize the electroweak mass scale by making quantum corrections naturally small. 

Then in 1984, together with Hagelin, Nanopoulos, Olive, and Srednicki, we realized that the lightest supersymmetric particle would be a very natural candidate for cold dark matter and calculated its density in some detail (this paper now has over 1,000 citations in the SPIRES database; Ellis J, et al., "Supersymmetric relics from the Big Bang," Nuclear Physics B 238[2]: 453-76, 1984).
