I could not find a way of sorting the list of relevant publications on Google Scholar on the number of citations. It would help a lot as I prefer to start reading well-cited references before moving onto less cited and more recent ones.

I am not looking to use a reference manager as I look for papers in diverse fields, many of which I do not go into depth.

    Web of Science certainly does, if you have access.

    Scopus is another example, if you have access.

  • Where do you get that list of publications from? Google Scholar certainly sorts papers published by individual researchers by citation.

There are at least four freely available databases which have this function. In random order:

  1. Lens: In Lens, instead of the default Sort by Relevance choose Scholarly Citations (highest)
  2. Microsoft Academic: In Microsoft Academic, choose SORT BY MOST EST. CITATIONS
  3. Dimensions: In Dimensions, choose Sort by: Citations
  4. ScienceOpen: In ScienceOpen, select Sort by cited by count
