1.      Arun K. Shanker, Carlos Cervantes, and Herminia Loza-Tavera and S. Avudainayagam 2005 Chromium Toxicity in Plants Environment International, 31(5) 739-753. Impact factor: 2.33 Cited by: 54 The paper was the number one downloaded article continuously for two quarters (6 months) in the top25 Science direct article for the journal. Number 2-downloaded article in the 3rd Quarter.Number 3 in the fifth Quarter after publication. I have stopped following the Top Ten obviously because it is off the list now. Its a Pop singer feeling to have your paper in the chart count down.
