Documents that have been cited at least 1,000 times from Web of Science Core Collection since publication to the end of 2016 were assessed regarding their language, document type, journals, and Web of Science categories. The results showed that 59 Taiwan classic publications were found in SCI-EXPANDED between 1981 and 2014. Taiwanese scientists published more classic papers in medicine and physics related categories. Fourteen Taiwan independent classic publications were also analysied. National Taiwan University was the only had three Taiwan independent classic publications while Taipei Medical University and Overseas Chinese College of Commerce were the only private universities which published Taiwan independent classic publications. In addition, ‘high impact sleeping beauties’ and ‘Green Giant’ in Taiwan were also discussed.
