Web of Science Group has announced its Highly Cited Researchers 2019 list, which identifies scientists whose papers rank in the top 1% of citations in a given field and year in Web of Science’s online citation index, demonstrating significant research influence among their peers and comprising just 0.1% of researchers worldwide. 11 members of the Wyss Institute at Harvard University are included on the 2019 list, an increase from eight in 2018.
Seven of the 11 are in the “Cross-Field” category, which was created last year to identify highly cited researchers whose publications span multiple disciplines and scientific fields. That category encompasses 40% of this year’s 6,217 researchers, a remarkable proportion for a category only one year old.
