The purpose of the present investigation was to identify the top 100 most highly cited "classic" articles in the Journal of Pediatric Psychology, from 1976 to 2006.
The Cited Reference search option of the Web of Science(R) was used, which allows for identification of variations in citations.
One-hundred and four classic articles ranging in citations from 46 to 192 (M = 71.66, SD = 31.15) were identified. These articles were found to be mostly applied research that focused predominantly on children across several age groups with chronic illness. Citation trends among the classics revealed an inverted-u shape relationship between year since publication and citations per year, which peaked around seven years after publication.
The current findings highlight some of the influential works in the field, which have contributed to important advances not only the field of pediatric psychology but other fields as well.
本研究旨在确定1976年至2006年间《儿科心理学杂志》中被引用次数最多的前100篇“经典”文章。
使用科学网（R）的被引参考文献搜索选项，该选项可识别引用中的变化。
确定了104篇经典文章，引用次数从46次到192次不等（M = 71.66，SD = 31.15）。这些文章大多是应用研究，主要关注多个年龄组患有慢性病的儿童。经典文章的引用趋势显示，自发表年份与每年引用次数之间呈倒U形关系，在发表后约七年达到峰值。
当前的研究结果突出了该领域的一些有影响力的作品，这些作品不仅为儿科心理学领域，也为其他领域的重要进展做出了贡献。
