Background: The purpose of this study was to identify the top-100 cited articles on genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) published in journals that have made key contributions to the field of epilepsy. Methods: We searched the Web of Science website produced by Clarivate Analytics for articles on GGE, and sorted them according to the number of citations to identify the top-100 cited articles. We then manually reviewed the contents of the top-100 cited articles, which were designated as “citation classics”. Results: The top-100 cited articles were published in 27 journals, with the largest proportion appearing in Epilepsia (19 articles). The articles originated from institutions in 17 countries, with 31 articles from the USA. The institution associated with the largest numbers of articles in the field of GGE was the University of Melbourne, Australia (9 articles). Panayiotopoulos C. P. was the first author of three articles, and was listed most frequently in the GGE citation classics. The publication years were concentrated in the 2000s, when 56 articles were published. The most-common study topics were genetics (35 articles) and neuroimaging (17 articles). Conclusions: This study has identified the top-100 cited articles on GGE. These citation classics represent the landmark articles on GGE, and they provide useful insights into international research leaders and the research trends in the field.
