Thanks Frank, I figured there proabably wasn't anything novel about what I wanted. ;) citeseer is cool. I want to have a list like this for the documents I've read: http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/mostcited.html That one gives most cited authors. I'd also like that list for most cited documents. I'll check out pybliographer and bibtex as well. That should be more than enough to accomplish what I want to do. I'll store these away in my bookmarks for later. Thanks again, Eric Rz.
