Outcome NZBRI research papers will be cited widely in the academic literature

The primary outcome of a successful research paper is influence upon
scientific and clinical thought, as measured by the number of times that
paper is cited by other research groups

Evidence We report on the citations generated only from the most influential papers
generated from NZBRI (those with ≥ 100 citations). The annual number of
citations for each of those papers can be verified by finding a record for
that paper in a publicly-available Google Scholar page associated with

one of its authors. Due to the algorithm used by Google Scholar to measure
citations, values might fluctuate slightly from those generated at the time
of this report.
