database, as to 15 March 2018, a total of 132,435 articles have been published in the Journal of Chemical Physics. The number of articles published per year was about 180 in the 1930s and decreased to about 120 during second world war. After the war the number of articles increased steadily, reaching about 1800 articles per year in 1970. The publishing rate remained fairly stable at this level until about 1990, when it climbed up again, reaching a maximum of 2871 articles published in 2014. It has since decreased somewhat to 2300 articles per year in the period 2015–2017. As to 15 March 2018 and according to Web of Science, the ten most cited articles published in the Journal of Chemical Physics are: # A. D. Becke, '' Density Functional Thermochemistry. 3. The role of exact exchange'', 98(7), 5648–5652 (1993) nbsp;citations# N. Metropolis, A. W. Rosenbluth, M. N. Rosenbluth, '' Equation of state calculations by fast computing machines'', 21(6), 1087–1092 (1953) nbsp;citations# W. L. Jorgensen, J. Chandrasekhar, J. D. Madura et al., ''Comparison of simple potential functions for simulating liquid water'', 79(2), 926–935 (1983) nbsp;citations# T. H. Dunning, '' Gaussian basis sets for use in correlated molecular calculations. 1. The atoms boron through neon and hydrogen'', 90(2), 1007–2013 (1989), nbsp;citations# H. J. C. Berendsen, J. P. M.

Seeger et al., ''Self-consistent molecular-orbital methods. 20. Basis set for correlated wave-functions'', 72(1), 650–654 (1980) nbsp;citations By the standards of chemical physics, these are huge numbers of citations, and all of these papers should be considered pivotal.
