Highly Cited Researchers 2018 Identifying top talent in the sciences and social sciences
2
Highly Cited Researchers are selected for their exceptional research performance, determined by production of multiple highly cited papers that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and year in Web of Science..
Of the world population of scientists and social scientists, the Clarivate Analytics Highly Cited Researchers are one in 1,000.
Web of Science | Highly Cited Researchers 2018 3
OverviewThe Clarivate Analytics list of Highly Cited Researchers for 2018 identifies scientists and social scientists who have demonstrated significant influence through publication of multiple highly cited papers during the last decade. Researchers are selected for their exceptional performance in one or more of 21 fields (those used in Essential Science Indicators (ESI)) or across several fields. Approximately 6,000 researchers are named Highly Cited Researchers in 2018 — some 4,000 in specific fields and about 2,000 for Cross-Field performance. This is the first year that researchers with Cross-Field impact are identified.
The number of researchers selected in each field is based on the square root of the population of authors listed on the field’s highly cited papers. The number of those with Cross-Field influence is determined by finding those who have influence equivalent to those identified in the 21 fields.
For the 2018 Highly Cited Researchers analysis, the papers surveyed were those published and cited during 2006- 2016 and which at the end of 2016 ranked in the top 1% by citations for their ESI field and year (the definition of a highly cited paper).
The threshold number of highly cited papers for selection differs by field, with Clinical Medicine requiring the most and Agricultural Sciences, Economics & Business, and Pharmacology & Toxicology the fewest.
A second criterion for selection is a citation count to highly cited papers that ranks a researcher in the top 1% by total citations in an ESI field for the period surveyed.
To identify researchers with Cross-Field impact, highly cited paper and citation counts are normalized through fractional counting according to the thresholds required for each field (thus, each Clinical Medicine paper has a smaller unit fraction, or counts less, than one in Agricultural Sciences). Citation counts are treated in a similar manner. If the sum of the fractional publication counts and the sum of the fractional citation counts for a researcher equals 1.0 or more, the individual exhibits influence equivalent to a researcher selected in one or more ESI defined fields and is therefore selected as a Highly Cited Researcher for exceptional Cross-Field performance.
There is no unique or universally agreed concept of what constitutes extraordinary research performance and elite status in the sciences and social sciences. Consequently, no quantitative indicators will reveal a list that satisfies all expectations or requirements. Moreover, a different basis or formula for selection would generate a different — though likely overlapping — list of names. Thus, the absence of a name on our list cannot be interpreted as inferior performance or stature in comparison to those selected. To understand both the meaning and the inevitable limitations of our analytical approach, a careful reading of the methodology is required.

This year, for the first time, Highly Cited Researchers introduces a new Cross-Field category to identify researchers with substantial influence across several fields during 2006-2016
Web of Science | Highly Cited Researchers 2018 5
Who would contest that in the race for knowledge it is human capital that is most essential? Talent — including intelligence, creativity, ambition, and social competence (where needed) — outpaces other capacities such as access to funding and facilities, although these are typically also necessities for success.
The advancement of scientific endeavor represents a critical activity for individual research institutions and entire nations.
The 2018 Highly Cited Researchers from Clarivate Analytics is a contribution to the identification of that small fraction of the researcher population that contributes disproportionately to extending the frontier and gaining for society knowledge and innovations that make the world healthier, richer, sustainable, and more secure.”
At UTS we strive for excellence in research and support our
researchers to achieve their ambitions. A critical element of their success is that their research findings attract attention and create impact within the scholarly community and more broadly for society, with the latter being significantly aided by the former, establishing the reputation of both our researchers and UTS. Clarivate’s Highly Cited Researchers List helps validate our researchers’ success, confirming the standing of our researchers and their research in their fields of specialisation. As UTS continues to grow as a research-intensive university and the number of our researchers who are recognised on the HCR List increases we increase the ability for our researchers to use their research to deliver the greatest benefits for society and to aspire our researchers to aim higher.

In the institution of science, the tail wags the proverbial
dog. Highly Cited Researchers wield a vastly disproportionate influence on their fields.³John N. Parker (U.S. National Science Foundation and Arizona State University), Christopher Lortie (York University), and Stefano Allesina (University of Chicago)
Citations: Pellets of peer recognition
When Eugene Garfield created the first citation index for science in 1964, he did so to make searching the literature more efficient and effective. He called his creation an “association-of-ideas index.”1 And the connections he captured between topics, concepts, or methods discussed in indexed papers could be trusted, he argued, because they were based on the informed judgments of researchers themselves, as recorded in the references they appended to their papers.
Thus, the network of citations linking items in the Web of Science offers a cognitive road map for those seeking to follow the progression of a finding or advancement — a map sometimes leading to unexpected regions that can turn research in a new, promising direction.
The raison d’être of the Web of Science is and always has been to help researchers find the information they need to carry out their investigations. And today Clarivate Analytics continues the work of Garfield by providing trusted insights and analytics to enable researchers to accelerate discovery.
A secondary use of a citation index for science evolved in the decade after its introduction: analysis of research performance. Citations, when tallied and especially at high frequency, reveal influence, utility, and often significance (quality, however, requires expert judgment). In 1972, the U.S. National Science Foundation included publication and citation data in its first Science Indicators report, which permitted comparisons of national research activity, focus, performance, and growth. In the 1980s, and in
Europe particularly, publication and citation data were harvested and deployed for analysis of the research performance of universities.
New Public Management, introduced in universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia in the 1980s and 1990s, applied business management methods to academia and emphasized performance indicators and benchmarks. Academic scientists and social scientists, who previously roundly rejected evaluation by outsiders and insisted on traditional peer review, have gradually accepted bibliometric assessments because opportunities and rewards tied to such assessments have become institutionalized. Some researchers now list citation data on their CVs and websites, such as a total citation count or their h-index.
What citations represent and how to interpret citation statistics have been debated for many years. Some assert that they convey importance or popularity; others say they function largely as rhetorical devices and collectively create a socially constructed reality. The late Robert K. Merton, the 20th century’s leading sociologist of science, called the citation “a pellet of peer recognition.”² Citations, he said, were given as repayments of intellectual debt to others. He emphasized that citation was an essential part of normative behavior among researchers, that it was a considered, formal, and obligatory activity, one that included a moral imperative to cite others when appropriate. It is largely this perspective that supports citation analysis to identify research influence and success. In most fields, there is a moderate positive correlation between peer esteem and citation frequency of papers and people, shown in a variety of so-called validation studies.
Web of Science | Highly Cited Researchers 2018 7
Evaluating the research performance of individuals is the most contentious application of publication and citation data. Apart from being an emotionally charged exercise, difficulties include finding comparable researchers or research publications to enable fair comparisons, expecting that influence and impact can be detected quickly when it may require many years, and selecting appropriate indicators, ones in alignment with the agreed priorities and values of a research program. A specific hazard is false precision – making distinctions without any meaningful differences – which frequently arises in dealing with small numbers, so often encountered in analyzing the work of an individual rather than that of an institution or nation.
When, however, a researcher’s record exhibits top-tier status quantitatively, demonstrated by the production of papers in the top 1%, top .1%, or even top .01% of a citation distribution, researchers can be more certain of having positive and reliable evidence that the individual under review has contributed something of utility and even significance. Having multiple contributions of this type increases confidence in attributing significant impact to a researcher’s oeuvre.
The application of the data (or of the ESI designation “Highly Cited”) — for example in the context of appointment or promotion decisions or in awarding research funds — demands informed interpretation. One should never rely on publication and citation data as a substitute for reading and assessing a researcher’s publications — that is, for human judgement.
This perspective is consistent with two of the recommendations of the Leiden Manifesto (2015), namely:
Beyond questions of evaluation, Garfield was fascinated by the power of citations to discriminate the typical from the truly exceptional researcher. The power-law nature of the citation distribution allows one to rapidly focus on a small number of top-end ‘events,’ including papers and people. Over the years he produced many lists of most-cited researchers in almost every field of inquiry. And he took special interest in using citation data to forecast Nobel Prize winners by identifying a group of researchers he termed ‘of Nobel class.’5
The Highly Cited Researchers list from Clarivate Analytics extends Garfield’s work in recognizing investigators whose citation records position them in the top strata of influence and impact. This year’s list includes 17 Nobel laureates, including two announced this year: James P. Allison, Physiology or Medicine, and William D. Nordhaus, Economic Sciences. Also included are 56 Clarivate Analytics Citation Laureates, individuals who, through citation analysis, we have identified as researchers ‘of Nobel class’ and potential Nobel Prize recipients.
Eugene Garfield
That quantitative evaluation should support qualitative,
expert assessment,” and that “assessment of individual researchers [should be based] on a qualitative judgement of their portfolio.⁴
Web of Science | Highly Cited Researchers 20188
Credit where credit is due Garfield, who passed away in February 2017, would be most gratified by those instances in which our designation of Highly Cited gave a deserving but underappreciated researcher the recognition and opportunity he or she deserved. Professor Eun-Jung Park, of Kyung Hee University, South Korea, who studies nanotoxicology and immunotoxicology, is an example.
“While I was aware that my research was being cited regularly, it was a huge surprise when an email appeared in
my inbox telling me I had been announced as a Highly Cited Researcher for 2017. It’s incredibly hard to describe how this moment felt in one word — I felt touched, elated, consoled and excited all at the same time — but most of all, I felt proud of myself.
Being recognized as a Highly Cited Researcher has triggered what can only be described as a miraculous trail of events for me over the last few months. Before the news, I was preparing to retire as a researcher. I suffer from gastritis, and I was in so much pain towards the end of last year that I was ready to give up for good — a decision I had not taken lightly. But receiving this award has spurred me on to continue with the work I’ve been doing. The enthusiasm I first felt as a researcher has now been reignited, and a whole new future lies ahead of me.”⁶

Highly Cited Researchers 2018
Highly Cited Researchers from Clarivate Analytics is an annual list recognizing influential researchers in the sciences and social sciences from around the world. The 2018 list contains 6,078 Highly Cited Researchers, 4,058 in 21 fields of the sciences and social sciences and 2,020 Highly Cited Researchers identified as having exceptional performance across several fields.*
The list focuses on contemporary research achievement: only highly cited papers in science and social sciences journals indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection during the 11-year period 2006-2016 were surveyed. Highly cited papers are defined as those that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and publication year. This percentile-based selection method removes the citation advantage of older papers relative to recently published ones, since papers are weighed against others in the same annual cohort.
The data derive from Essential Science Indicators (ESI), a component of InCites. The fields are also those employed in ESI — 21 broad fields defined by sets of journals and exceptionally, in the case of multidisciplinary journals such as Nature and Science, by a paper-by-paper assignment to a field based on an analysis of the cited references in the papers.
*The number of unique Highly Cited Researchers is 5,836, including 3,816 in the ESI fields and 2,020 in the Cross-Field category. The analysis reported here is based on appearances of Highly Cited Researchers in specific fields, and a small number are selected in more than one ESI field.

Researchers who, within an ESI-defined field, publish highly cited papers are judged to be influential, so the production of multiple top 1% papers is interpreted as a mark of exceptional impact. Relatively younger researchers are more likely to emerge in such an analysis than in one dependent on total citations over many years. To be able to recognize early and mid-career as well as senior researchers is one of the goals in generating Highly Cited Researchers lists. The determination of how many researchers to include in the list for each field is based on the population of each field, as represented by the number of disambiguated author names on all highly cited papers in that field, 2006-2016. The ESI fields vary greatly in size, with Clinical Medicine being the largest and Agricultural Sciences, Economics & Business, and Pharmacology & Toxicology the smallest in terms of researchers and number of highly cited papers produced.
One of two criteria for selection is that the researcher must have enough citations to his or her highly cited papers to rank among all authors in the top 1% by total citations in the ESI field in which that person is considered. Authors of highly cited papers who meet this criterion in a field are ranked by number of such papers, and the threshold for inclusion is determined using the square root of the population represented by the number of disambiguated authors names on the highly cited papers in a field. All who published highly cited papers at the threshold level are admitted to the list, even if the final list then exceeds the number given by the square root calculation.
In addition, and as a concession to the somewhat arbitrary cut-off, any researcher with one fewer highly cited paper than the threshold number is also admitted to the list if total citations to his or her highly cited papers rank that individual in the top 50% by total citations of those at the threshold level or higher. The justification for this adjustment is that it seems to work well in identifying influential researchers, in the judgment of Clarivate Analytics citation analysts.
Of course, there are many highly accomplished and influential researchers who are not recognized by the method described above and whose names do not appear in the 2018 list. This outcome would hold no matter what specific method were chosen for selection. Each measure or set of indicators, whether total citations, h-index, relative citation impact, mean percentile score, etc., accentuates different types of performance and achievement. Here we confront what many expect from such lists, but what is unobtainable: that there is some optimal or ultimatemethod of measuring performance. The only reasonable approach to interpreting a list of top researchers such as ours is to fully understand the method behind the data and results, and why the method is used. With that knowledge, in the end, the results may be judged by users as relevant or irrelevant to their needs or interests.
Release of the Highly Cited Researcher list by Clarivate
Analytics is a major annual event at UNSW. It is internationally respected, and now even more influential with the new cross field category embracing interdisciplinary research. HCR status is testimony to the pinnacle of achievement of our [19 selected academics in 20 fields], and such is its prestige, we recognise annually those academics who make the list at our celebration of research excellence.

New: Identifying researchers with Cross-Field impact
This year, for the first time, Highly Cited Researchers introduces a new Cross-Field category to identify researchers with substantial influence across several fields during 2006-2016. As mentioned above, 2,020 researchers with Cross-Field impact now join 4,058 who have been selected in one or more of 21 broad ESI fields. An increase of 50% is substantial, but 6,078 researchers still represents a very small fraction of all scientists and social scientists actively publishing today.
Since introducing Highly Cited Researchers in 2014, Clarivate Analytics has received the suggestion from many that limiting the methodology for selection to only those with a required number of highly cited papers in a single field, as defined in ESI, discriminates against researchers who publish highly cited papers in several fields but not enough in any one field to be chosen. We responded to this concern. In line with recommendations on best practice, we want to ensure that any metrics or analyses that we produce are structured and presented in a responsible manner. Extending the identification of Highly Cited Researchers to cross-disciplinary work fulfills that goal.
The challenge for us was finding a method that took account of the different threshold number of highly cited papers in each field so that those contributing papers in several fields could be compared in an equal manner with those selected in one or more ESI fields. The solution chosen was to fractionally count the credit for each highly cited paper such that a paper in a field with a high threshold number of papers was weighted less than a paper in a field with a lower threshold number of papers.
The fictional researcher Joseph Savant (Table below) published 15 highly cited papers in the period 2006-2016 in four ESI fields. Seven papers in Field 6, with a threshold number of eight for selection, earned Savant a credit of .875 (or 7/8ths). Three papers in Field 14, with a threshold number of six for selection, were worth .5. The sum of the fractional paper counts in each field yielded a total Cross-Field paper score of 1.67. A score of 1 or more indicates that the individual achieved equivalent impact to a researcher chosen in a specific ESI field.

The second criterion for selection as a Highly Cited Researcher is enough citations to rank in the top 1% by citations for a field. Again, citations in different fields were fractionated in a similar manner to the treatment of papers. In the example above, Professor Savant earned more than five times the number of citations needed for selection as an influential Cross-Field researcher. Both criteria had to be met for selection as a Cross-Field Highly Cited Researcher, just as required for selection in one or more ESI fields.
Traditional field definitions are useful in some contexts but less so in others. Today, an immunologist may identify herself as a biochemist and a molecular biologist. Another researcher may be hard pressed to say whether he is a chemist, materials scientist, or engineer. Breaking through the artificial walls of conventional disciplinary categories will help keep our Highly Cited Researcher list contemporary and relevant. Moreover, as frontier areas of research are frequently interdisciplinary, it is even more important to identify scientists and social scientists working and contributing substantially at the Cross-Field leading edge.
The 6,078 Highly Cited Researchers of 2018 are unevenly distributed by field, in accordance with the size of each. The table to the right summarizes the number of researchers in each ESI field and in the new Cross-Field category.

The following analysis is based on primary researcher affiliations, as specified by the Highly Cited Researchers themselves.
The United States is the institutional home for 2,639 of the 2018 Highly Cited Researchers, which amounts to 43.4% of the group. By contrast, of all papers indexed in the Web of Science for 2006-2016 the percentage with a U.S. author or co-author was 27.6%. The second ranked country / region is the United Kingdom with 546 Highly Cited Researchers, or 9.0%. Mainland China follows, with 482 researchers, or 7.9% (adding Hong Kong with 51 and Macau with 5 raises the total to 538, nearly that of the UK). Next, all with 100 or more Highly Cited Researchers, we list Germany (356), Australia (245), The Netherlands (189), Canada (166), France (157), Switzerland (133), and Spain (115).
The Highly Cited Researchers represent more than 60 regions, but 82.7% of them are from just 10 and 70.2% from the first five, a remarkable concentration of top talent.
While each region pursues its own portfolio of interests, often reflected in numbers of Highly Cited Researchers in different fields, some regions appear to follow less traditional, more transdisciplinary lines of investigation, at least if their scientific elite is representative. Across the group, there are two Highly Cited Researchers in the 21 ESI fields for each in the Cross-Field category. We might expect, therefore, to see this 2:1 ratio for each region. Not so. Instead of a
third in the Cross-Field category, more than half of the Highly Cited Researchers from Sweden (53.2%) and Austria (52.5%) are recognized for high impact research spanning several areas. Nations with more than 40% of their Highly Cited Researchers selected in the Cross-Field category are Singapore (47.4%), Denmark (47.2%), Mainland China (42.7%), and South Korea (42.1%). This prompts the question: style or strategy?
Three regions have shown a notable increase in both number and percentage of Highly Cited Researchers since 2014: Singapore, Mainland China, and Australia. The following figures are based on the 21 ESI fields only, since there are no trends data for researchers in the Cross-Field category.
In 2014, we counted 17 Highly Cited Researchers from Singapore and this year 40 were named in the 21 ESI fields, for an increase of 135.3%. Mainland China increased by 126.2%, based on 122 researchers in 2014 and 276 in 2018 represented in the ESI fields. Australia was the third strongest performer, exhibiting growth of 112.5%, from 80 researchers named in 2014to 170 in the ESI fields in 2018.
By contrast, Japan declined 34.7% in number of Highly Cited Researchers named in the ESI fields, from 98 named in 2014 to 64 this year. Even when one includes the Cross-Field researchers, the total for Japan in 2018 is 90, so there has been an absolute decline in Highly Cited Researchers for the nation.

Among the 4,058 researchers named as Highly Cited in the 21 ESI fields, 194, or 4.8%, appear in two ESI fields and only 24, or .6%, appear in three fields. (Cross-Field researchers qualify in only one category, or else they would have been chosen in one or more ESI fields.)
The table below lists the 24 Highly Cited Researchers named in three ESI fields. They are a group remarkable in both output and impact. The high level of performance of these two dozen warrants special recognition as citation superstars.

It is important to understand the difference between selection as a Highly Cited Researcher in the Cross-Field category and selection in more than one ESI field. Both classes of individuals have demonstrated significant research impact across fields. Cross-Field researchers, however, qualify for selection based on the sum of their highly cited papers and citations that meets a normalized threshold equivalent to selection in any one field whereas those named in multiple fields qualify outright in each field.
The foregoing is but a ‘tasting’ of the riches of Highly Cited Researcher data from Clarivate Analytics. In early 2019, we will publish a more detailed analysis of the 2018 data, with attention paid to national and regional activity and performance.
Researchers are selected for their exceptional performance in one or more of 21 fields or across several fields.
