Publications on complex, evolving systems: A citation-based survey

A list of the most relevant publications on complex, evolving systems is produced by counting the number of times each publication is cited in a collection of texts on the domain. The importance of these books and papers is summarized by noting the main contribution to the field of their authors, categorized by the research tradition they originated from. These include biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, cybernetics, systems theory, economy and complex adaptive systems.
