Just Released from Clarivate: Highly Cited Researchers Annual Report

Clarivate has just released its 2021 list of Highly Cited Researchers™. Their methodology identifies approximately 6,600 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.

Jeanine works in a collaborative environment to promote and develop the Library’s publication database, Synapse (https://synapse.mskcc.org). This resource is public-facing and showcases the intellectual output of MSK authors. Synapse records include Altmetric scores, online attention received by scholarly articles and datasets from social media, traditional media, and online reference tools. The Dimensions’ citation badge is also available, providing the number of times researchers have cited a paper (if available). Jeanine leads a team that maintains this resource and is responsible for publishing the online annual Synapse Publications Report.
