“We are pleased to recognize the world’s most influential scientific minds; the innovators forging a path toward a brighter tomorrow,” said Vin Caraher, president Thomson Reuters IP & Science. “Citations serve as strong and reliable indicators of the work scientists judge to be most critical to ongoing global research, thus making the highly-cited researchers and hottest researchers a true reflection of the individuals, institutions and nations that are driving the pace of scientific discovery.”
According to the agency, the list is formed by Thomson Reuters IP & and Science experts who analyze data from the world’s leading research platforms, a unique compilation of science performance metrics and trend data based on scholarly paper publication counts.
