Ruperto CarolaUniversität Heidelberg with Twelve “Highly Cited Researchers”

Twelve researchers from Heidelberg University feature on the recently published list of “Highly Cited Researchers”. This international evaluation names researchers whose publications have been cited most frequently worldwide in their respective field or who have an outstanding track-record of publications across several disciplines.

The list includes a total of 20 disciplines from the natural, life and social sciences as well as the cross-field category, which recognises researchers with an outstanding track-record of publications across several disciplines. Five of the twelve most-cited scientists from Ruperto Carola are in this 21st category. Among them is Prof. Dr Ralf Bartenschlager, who is on the list of “Highly Cited Researchers” for the eleventh time in a row. Prof. Dr Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg, also listed in the cross-field category, is among the most-cited researchers worldwide for the tenth successive time.

The citation count reflects how often colleagues cite a publication in their research papers, and is therefore an important indicator of a publication’s scientific influence. The latest list of highly cited researchers, issued by analytics company Clarivate, assessed publications between 2012 and 2022. Highly cited publications are those in the top 1% by citations in their respective field and year of publication. The list was first issued in 2001; it was revised for the first time in 2014 and since then has appeared annually. It currently comprises approximately 7,100 designations of researchers from 67 countries.
