Abstract

Analyze the impact of “Formation of Bimolecular Membranes from Lipid Monolayers and a Study of Their Electrical Properties”, a Mexican classic in the biochemical literature. Citations were retrieved from the Web of Sciences, which served to search for the full text and its location in the manuscript. In August 2021, the work registered 1608 acknowledgments, an average of 33 citations per year, 50% of citations are applied to support the work methodology and 41% in introduction and results. The citations come mainly from universities, institutes and research centers in the United States, Germany, England, France, Japan and Italy. The document is a classic that will continue to collect citations due to the transdisciplinarity it has achieved.
