The Highly Cited Researchers program identifies and celebrates individuals who have demonstrated significant and widespread influence in their field(s) of research.
Each selected researcher is the author of several Highly Cited Papers™ that rank in the top 1% of citations for their field(s) and year of publication in the Web of Science™ over the past decade, indicating exceptional influence in their respective disciplines.
This list is then refined using qualitative analysis, expert judgement and robust quality checks to create the final annual list of Highly Cited Researchers.
2024 Analysis provides valuable insights into the global landscape of top researchers, and identifies trends across countries, regions and institutions.
