We extracted the 100 most-cited articles on vitiligo using the Web of Science database and analysed the results using Microsoft Excel 2019. Our search was limited to manuscript titles or abstracts containing the keyword \u2018vitiligo\u2019. The data extracted information such as title, author, year of publication, journal of publication, total citations and research area.

The 100 most-cited articles were published between 1976 and 2017. Of those, 75 were original articles, with the research foci being mainly pathogenesis (29%) and treatment (26%). The US was the most prolific publisher overall. We separately retrieved the highest cited data from 2018 to 2022 and tabled the top 10.
