Hidden Jewels Top 10 lists are generated every day and comprise only papers published in less widely read journals (the grouping of which is the same for all Faculties; therefore, whilst some of these journals may be considered 'high profile' in their immediate Faculty, they are included in the Hidden Jewels lists because they probably will not be so obvious to people outside that specific Faculty). The Hidden Jewels list of papers is ordered by the number of times a paper's evaluation(s) has been viewed over the past 14 days.
