McGill celebrates 14 researchers on Highly Cited Researchers 2020 List

By Meaghan Thurston (Office of Research and Innovation) The annual Highly Cited Researchers (TM) list from Clarivate Analytics was released today and 14 of McGill's most influential academics have made the cut. They join 6,167 researchers from more than 60 countries and regions who have demonstrated significant influence in their chosen field or fields through the publication of multiple highly cited papers during the last decade. Their names are identified from the publications that rank in the top 1% by citations-work that is frequently referenced by other researchers-for field and publication year in the Web of Science(TM) citation index. By recognizing researchers with high citation impact-rankings based on millions of citations-the list celebrates both the reach and the influence of international research in 21 fields of study. Seven among the 14 McGill researchers named this year are recognized for their substantial influence in more than one of these fields (cross-field). Since 2014, McGill's researchers have consistently made the Highly Cited Researchers (TM) list. Nine of the researchers appearing on the 2020 list are there for a second year in row.
