Oxford Journals is delighted to announce that five papers from three of its titles have been included in Thomson Scientific's recently published Top 40 "Red-Hot Research Papers" for 2005. Of these a paper from Bioinformatics is the fifth most highly cited research article of the year, while Nucleic Acids Research has attained fifth place overall in terms of numbers of papers in the "Red-hot" list. A further article from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute was also included.

Bioinformatics, the leading journal in its field, publishes new developments in genome bioinformatics and computational biology. Its January 2005 issue included the article by Barrett, Fry, Maller and Daly, Haploview: analysis and visualization of LD and haplotype maps [http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/21/2/263?maxtoshow=&HITS=10&hits=10&RESULTFORMAT=&fulltext=Haploview&searchid=1&FIRSTINDEX=0&resourcetype=HWCIT], which was recorded by Thomson Scientific as receiving a total of 90 citations in 2005. The paper was the fifth most cited overall in 2005.

With three articles in the top 40, Nucleic Acids Research, (NAR) was ranked as the "hottest" single-discipline journal in the world and the fifth "hottest" journal overall. NAR is a fully Open Access journal, providing rapid publication of leading edge research into the nucleic acids. In January 2005 it became the first title from Oxford Journals, and indeed the first journal of its size and prestige, to adopt a fully open access model.

For several years, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute has been ranked as the most-cited original-research cancer journal by Thomson Scientific in its annual Journal Citation Reports. The article Clinical and Biological Features Associated With Epidermal Growth
