Fifteen TUM researchers belong to the world's most frequently cited scientists according to the Highly Cited Researchers rankings.
When scientists write research papers, they cite the most important papers that have already been published on the topic. Therefore, the total number of times a paper is cited is a good indicator of the quality of the research. To identify the most highly cited researchers, the US company Clarivate annually analyzes its Web of Science database, which covers scientific publications in a broad range of disciplines.
The latest evaluation lists the scientists who were cited most frequently in their subject areas in the period from 2013 to 2023. Researchers who are frequently cited in multiple fields are listed in the Cross-Field category. The list contains the names of about 6,900 persons in no specific order, including the following TUM researchers:
