(The H4-Index of American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology is 24. 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 2021-02-01 to 2025-02-01.)
