Millions of researchers worldwide publish millions of papers. Thomson Reuters compiles a Highly Cited Researchers database, listing based on the number of citations their work has received from fellow researchers. Among the factors that play into the database is the Essential Science Indicators in Web of Science, which tracks papers published in the past decade that rank in the top 1% most cited for their respective years of publication in each of the main subject fields.
The 2015 Highly Cited List includes more than 3,100 names and we’re pleased to find that 8 of our researchers have made the cut. Congratulations to
