The 2018 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 6,000 highly cited researchers (last year’s report included 3,400). In addition, Clarivate Analytics has introduced a new “Cross-Field” category to identify researchers with substantial influence across several fields during 2006-2016.
To learn how a researcher makes this list, take a moment to review their methodology.
