About the publication analysis
Some 6600 scientists and social scientists feature in the list of Highly Cited Researchers 2024, created by American company Clarivate Analytics. Clarivate’s Web of Science platform, which records academic publications and their citations, forms the basis of the analysis. The more often a researcher’s papers are cited, the higher the scientific importance and quality of the research findings are ranked. All articles published within a period of eleven years are included in the analysis. The current list evaluates publications from the years 2013 to 2023. Only the top one percent most-cited publications in the 20 fields and interdisciplinary category (highly-cited papers) are included in the evaluation.
