Abstract: What's hot in mineralogy? A citation analysis of papers published between 1990 and 1996 tackles this question. The results show that zeolites accumulated the most attention, which is perhaps not surprising – like the next four minerals in the list they have important industrial applications. Indeed, one overall conclusion to be drawn from the analysis is that mineralogy is a mature discipline, one more concerned with applications than fundamental discoveries.
