The Third Five Years
1 Editor-in-Chief
2 Associate Editors
In this issue, as part of our 20th anniversary celebration, we are pleased to honor the third editorial team that was responsible for Hypertension from 1989–1993. This month we recognize Drs Allyn L. Mark and Gerald F. DiBona, who served as Editors-in-Chief from 1989 to 1992 and 1992 to 1993, respectively, while they shared editorial responsibilities at the University of Iowa College of Medicine in Iowa City. They were ably supported by Drs Francois M. Abboud, Donald D. Heistad, and Larry S. Tobacman during this five-year period. Dr DiBona also supported Dr Mark during Dr Mark's term. It was during their tenure that the journal became established as a major scientific journal even though it met with increasing competition from no fewer than seven other hypertension journals. Despite this auspicious competition, Hypertension endured, and we are grateful to this team from Iowa for maintaining the journal's position and esteem as viewed by investigators the world over.
Once again, we have identified the top 25 manuscripts according to their frequency of citation in the world scientific literature. However, 26 references are included since the 25th and 26th papers were tied in the number of citations. We again emphasize that these papers are listed alphabetically according to the last name of the first author. These papers are as follows:
