Clarivate Reveals World’s Influential Researchers: 2023 List is Available to View!

Posted on by

Clarivate released its 2023 list of Highly Cited Researchers™. Their evaluation and selection process identified 6,849 researchers from institutions in 67 countries/regions who demonstrate significant influence in their field(s) of interest through their highly cited papers. For the United States this represents 2,669 highly cited researchers with a world share of 37.5%.

Curious on who made this global list 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.

I am delighted to share that 41 researchers associated with MSK publications from this year made this prestigious list.  There were 8 researchers on the list that had previously work at the Center but had no MSK-affiliated papers for a few years.
