Over a period of eleven years, Clarivate Analytics, USA, analyses how often researchers are cited. This year’s list covers the period 2005 to 2015. Twenty-two different categories are differentiated based on topic areas within the natural and social sciences as well as other scientific disciplines like medicine. Nutrition falls into the category “Agricultural Sciences”. The scientists included on the list are those who belong to the one percent of most frequently-cited researchers in their topic area. The results are published every November in the annual rankings of “Highly-Cited Researchers” and have established themselves as an important indicator of a researcher’s impact in his research field.
Clarivate Analytics became an independent spin-off of the media group Thomson Reuters in 2016. The company also maintains the online database “Web of Science”.
