TOP CLIPPERS RESEARCH PAPERS

 While the number of papers on CLIPPERS is not enormous by scientific standards, many are quite specific to specific cases and co-occurring conditions. On this page, I've listed the top papers as judged by the number of times they have been cited elsewhere - an indicator of their importance and impact on the study of CLIPPERS.
