  • a The top 20 authors were sorted into 4 quartiles (≥75%, 50%–74%, 25%–49%, <25%) based on 3 metrics: the percentage of their articles that appeared in radiology journals, the percentage of their articles for which they were first or senior author, and the percentage of citations they received from articles in radiology journals. We determined the latter 2 metrics using all of the top 20 authors' articles, only their articles in radiology journals, only their articles in nonradiology journals, and only their articles in AJNR.
