Yesterday, I twittered about Sciverse, a new "Elsevier platform that combines ScienceDirect (fulltext journal articles) and Scopus (abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature)" (more about it here, in @mfenner's blog).While browsing around the ScienceDirect site, I found a new service: "Top-25 hottest articles".
Basically, Top 25 "allows you to see which articles have been downloaded the most, either from any of the 24 subject areas and/or from any of the 2,500 journals on ScienceDirect".
These reports are published quarterly and so reflect usage behavior from the prior three months.
So, which articles have been the most downloaded ones in the period between April and June 2010, in the field of "Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology"?

Well that's a very "cancer & immunology"-oriented list!
Let's take a closer look at these stats:
23 out of the 25 articles are from Cell. The other two, from Cancer Cell.
17 are review articles.
The article "The hallmarks of cancer" (2000) has been cited in 7602 documents!
You can subscribe to the Top25 list by RSS here.
Just as a comparison, let's take a look at what the "Essential Science Indicators" tool from Web of Science has to say regarding "highly cited articles" in the field of "Molecular Biology and Genetics". This list has been updated as of July 1, 2010 to cover a ~10-year period (January 1st, 2000 to April 30th, 2010).

There's something to be said for diversity, for multiple opinions, and interdisciplinary thought. My opinion is actually less than positive. I think that having almost every single article from Cell is narrow-minded and detrimental.
Time to expand horizons a little, people!
