In June 2017, Google Scholar released a collection of highly-cited papers in their area of research that have stood the test of time. These Classic Papers were published in 2006 and the list includes the ten most-cited articles, proving that though research is often about the latest findings, some have an impact long after their publication.
We are proud to report that in the field of epidemiology, the Classic Papers list includes a 2006 publication co-authored by Dean Donald Burke, who was at Johns Hopkins University at the time, and others from Johns Hopkins, Imperial College London, and RTI. Not only was the Nature paper "Strategies for mitigating an influenza pandemic" included on the list, it had 1500 citations and was the #1 most cited article in the field of epidemiology!
Congratulations to Dean Burke and his co-authors!
