Background: The area of asthma medicine has produced a large volume of important clinical and scientific papers that can be found in those most influential journals. The purpose of our study was to identify the 100 most cited papers in asthma research and to analyze their characteristics..Methods: We used the Institute for Scientific Information Web of Knowledge Database to identify the most frequently cited articles published from 1960 to December 2017. Original articles and reviews were included in the study. The 100 top-cited articles were then analyzed with regard to number of citations, publication year, journals, institution, research type and field, authors and countries of authors of publications..Results: The 100 top-cited articles in asthma were published between 1960 and 2011 with a median of 933 citations per article (range, 701–2947). The number of citations per article was greatest for articles published in the 1990s. The United States of America contributed most of the classic articles, followed by England. The leading institutions were Imperial College London, McMaster University, Erasmus University Rotterdam. The 100 top-cited articles were published in twenty-five journals, led by The New England Journal of Medicine (21 articles), followed by American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine (19 articles), Lancet (11 articles), respectively. Among the 100 classics, 50% articles were clinical research articles..Conclusions: Our study provides a historical perspective on the progress of research on asthma. Studies con- ducted in well-developed European countries and North America, published in high-impact journals had the highest citations.
