(The median citation count of Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is 6. 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 2021-10-01 to 2025-10-01.)
