The University of Bonn is once again featured on the international “Highly Cited Researchers” list: According to Clarivate Analytics, the information service provider that compiles the list, a total of ten researchers are among the top one percent of the most influential in their field worldwide.
The current list includes 6,868 researchers from 61 countries. From Germany, 363 scientists made it onto the list. The University of Bonn is represented by ten researchers among the Highly Cited Researchers 2025:
Thomas Bieber, Department of Dermatology and Allergology at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), Cross-Field (also Christine Kühne Center for Allergy Research and Education – Medicine Campus Davos)
Jan Börner, Institute for Food and Resource Economics, Cross-Field
Frank Ewert, Institute of Crop Science and Resource Conservation (INRES), Cross-Field (also Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research)
Stefan Grimme, Mulliken Center for Theoretical Chemistry, Clausius Institute for Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Chemistry
Frank G. Holz, Department of Ophthalmology of the University Hospital Bonn, Clinical Medicine
Matin Qaim, Center for Development Research (ZEF), Economics and Business
Jonathan L. Schmid-Burgk, Institute of Clinical Chemistry and Clinical Pharmacology at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), Cross-Field
Some of the Bonn researchers have been among the Highly Cited Researchers for years. Jonathan L. Schmid-Burgk, a life scientist who is only 39 years old, achieved a “Hattrick” this year with three consecutive mentions.
In addition, three other researchers are on the list who are primarily affiliated with other institutions but have academic ties to the University of Bonn: Fields Medal winner Peter Scholze (Max Planck Society, mathematics), Joachim Schultze (DZNE, immunology), and Axel Kallies (University of Melbourne, immunology).
Methodology
The survey uses the frequency with which a researcher's scientific publications have been cited by other researchers over the past eleven years as a measure of their influence. Only publications included in the Web of Science publication and citation database are taken into account. The researchers listed are among the top one percent in terms of the number of citations in their respective fields.
For the analysis, the creators of the list divided the publications into 21 subject areas. The “Cross-Field” section lists scientists who have published in several subject areas.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
