The SMA has made a very significant impact in the field of low mass star formation. Here we consider the earliest stages of star formation, including starless dense cores and young disks, during the embedded protostellar phase (i.e., before the revealed T Tauri phase), both in relative isolation and in cluster forming environments.

As of late July 2010, there are 37 SMA papers published in the four main refereed astronomical journals (ApJ, incl. Letters and Supplements, AJ, A&A, MNRAS) with a total of 462 citations (a mean of 12.5 per paper). For the period 2004-2006 there are 9 papers with a mean citation rate of 28.2; for the period 2004-2007 there are 17 papers with a mean citation rate of 22.9; and for 2004-2008 there are 23 papers with a mean citation rate of 19.1.
