– SINC (Scientific Information and News Service in Spain) covered some of the papers published by ICIQ research groups and consequently, those papers were also highlighted in different media venues.

– Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN, the American Chemical Society magazine), Chemistry World (the Royal Society of Chemistry magazine) and Chemistry Views (ChemPubSoc Europe and Wiley-VCH magazine) also selected some of the high impact research published by ICIQ.

– Several papers were highlighted by the journals in which they were published for being hot, high impact research and most downloaded papers.

– Finally, the Top 10 most cited papers, so far, published in 2013 according to Web of Science are the following:
