(The H4-Index of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B-Biological Sciences is 46. The table below lists those papers that are above that threshold based on CrossRef citation counts [max. 250 papers]. The publications cover those that have been published in the past four years, i.e., from 2020-11-01 to 2024-11-01.)
