An analysis of 118,364 references from 3752 articles published in top IS journals during the 10 years from 1986 to 1995 is presented. Ninety-one `citation classics' were identi®ed by combining the results of this analysis with previous ®ndings. Within this group of 91 publications, 13 `super classic' publications were identi®ed. These classics and super classics can be categorized along any of ...

A hyperbolic bration is set of q ?1 hyperbolic quadrics and two lines which together partition the points of PG(3; q). The classical example of a hyperbolic bration comes from a pencil of quadrics; however, several other families are known. In this paper we construct a new family of hyperbolic brations for odd prime powers q. As an application of hyperbolic brations, we note that they can be us...
