The Naval Research Laboratory was named in the Journal of The Electrochemical Society (JES) Top 20 "Institutions with the most papers published." NRL ranked fifth among other corporate and institutional giants (IBM, Bell Labs, UC Berkley, and MIT). NRL published a total of 544 articles, which is 1.0% of all articles published in JES. This rating was derived from polls taken from various JES divisions. The polls were rated according "to which specific JES paper had maximal impact on the technical activities of that particular group of scientists and engineers." The listed authors and papers were also considered "of the highest quality or rank, having recognized and permanent value, of enduring interest and appeal, a work especially of literature, art, or music meriting the highest respect, particularly definitive, reliable, or authoritative or something regarded as perfect of its kind or fitting to serve as a model."
