It’s That Time of Year: Check Out the 2022 Highly Cited Researchers™

Clarivate released its 2022 list of Highly Cited Researchers™. Their methodology identifies approximately 7,000+ researchers from around the world who demonstrate significant influence in their field(s) of interest through their highly cited papers. Curious on who made this global list of influential scientific researchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK)? Read on to find out!

The Highly Cited Researchers’ names are drawn from the publications that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and publication year in the Web of Science™ citation index.

This year, I am delighted to share that 49 researchers associated with MSK made this prestigious list. Thirty-three MSK authors on the 2022 list were also on the 2021 list. In addition, Sarat Chandarlapaty, Alexander Drilon, Xuejun Jiang, and Ming O. Li were first time researchers to make the list.

Webinar: “Retractions Are on the Rise….But Not Enough”

The number of retractions has increased significantly in recent years. Fraudulent research impacts all researchers, their institutions, and the journals that have accepted their manuscripts for publication. Join us for an historical overview and insights from our speakers about the cost of scientific fraud and the retraction process. 

In addition, there will be time for attendees to participate in an interactive Q&A session.
