Six of the 6,600 most cited scientists in the world conduct research at Goethe University Frankfurt. That is the result of the current citation ranking of the “Web of Science”, published by Clarivate Analytics. Each year, the ranking evaluates journal articles mainly from the natural sciences, engineering and medicine.
FRANKFURT. In most cases, it is fundamental scientific findings that result in a paper being cited frequently by other scientists. That is why citation frequency serves as an indicator of the published articles' scientific significance as well as the authors' visibility in the scientific community.
Once a year, information and technology company Clarivate Analytics evaluates its “Web of Science” citation database and publishes the “Highly Cited Researchers” ranking. The current ranking includes around 6,600 scientists, in no particular order, who belonged to the one percent of authors whose scientific articles in the natural and engineering sciences, medicine, and the categories ”Economics and Business” and “Social Sciences” were cited most frequently between 2013 and 2023, either within their own category or in different subjects (“cross-field”).
The ranking only takes into account journal articles and not book contributions. Further, articles with more than 30 authors or so-called group authorships in large international research consortia are also not included in the study.
Here are the “highly cited” Goethe University researchers of 2024:
