The 2017 Highly Cited Researchers Report from Clarivate Analytics (the company behind Web of Science) is an annual list recognizing leading researchers in the sciences and social sciences from all over the world. This year the report includes approximately 3,400 highly cited researchers. To learn how a researcher makes this list, take a moment to review the methodology. If you prefer, you can also view a short video (8.51 min) on their methodology webpage which provides a brief overview, how the report is compiled, and showcases two researchers and their thoughts of what it means to be included in this year’s report.
I am delighted to share that the following 14 MSK researchers have made the list this year:
| Sander, Chris | Biology & Biochemistry |
| Baselga, Jose | Clinical Medicine |
