Dr Markus Göker and Dr Andrey M. Yurkov are ‘Highly Cited Researchers 2025’
Bioinformatician Dr Markus Göker and mycologist Dr Andrey M. Yurkov from the Leibniz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures are among the world's most cited researchers. Markus Göker has been included in the list of the world's most cited researchers for the seventh time, while fungal researcher Andrey M. Yurkov is among the honourees for the first time this year. Clarivate, the company responsible for the ‘Web of Science’ research platform and the ‘Science Citation Index’, annually honours researchers as ‘Highly Cited Researchers’ whose publications have been cited particularly frequently in their field.
This year, the ‘Highly Cited Researcher‘ award from Clarivate was granted 7,131 times worldwide to 6,868 individuals from 60 countries. It is possible for a person to be recognized in multiple scientific fields. Of the ‘Highly Cited Researchers’, 363 are affiliated with German institutions. Germany ranks fourth, after the United States, China, and the United Kingdom, among the countries with the most frequently cited researchers.
For this index, Clarivate evaluates how often scientific publications per research field and year of publication have been cited in other journals. The ‘Highly Cited Researchers’ are among the top one per cent in the Web of Science citation index. Further information on the two scientists employed at the Leibniz Institute DSMZ in Braunschweig, Germany who have received this internationally well renowned award:

About the Leibniz Institute DSMZ
The Leibniz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures is the world's most diverse collection of biological resources (bacteria, archaea, protists, yeasts, fungi, bacteriophages, plant viruses, genomic bacterial DNA as well as human and animal cell lines). Microorganisms and cell cultures are collected, investigated and archived at the DSMZ. As an institution of the Leibniz Association, the DSMZ with its extensive scientific services and biological resources has been a global partner for research, science and industry since 1969. The DSMZ was the first registered collection in Europe (Regulation (EU) No. 511/2014) and is certified according to the quality standard ISO 9001:2015. As a patent depository, it offers the only possibility in Germany to deposit biological material in accordance with the requirements of the Budapest Treaty. In addition to scientific services, research is the second pillar of the DSMZ. The institute, located on the Science Campus Braunschweig-Süd, accommodates more than 92,500 bioresources and has almost 230 employees. https://www.dsmz.de
The Leibniz Association
The Leibniz Association connects 96 independent research institutions that range in focus from natural, engineering and environmental sciences to economics, spatial and social sciences and the humanities. Leibniz Institutes address issues of social, economic and ecological relevance. They conduct basic and applied research, including in the interdisciplinary Leibniz Research Alliances, maintain scientific infrastructure, and provide research-based services. The Leibniz Association identifies focus areas for knowledge transfer, particularly with the Leibniz research museums. It advises and informs policymakers, science, industry and the general public. Leibniz institutions collaborate intensively with universities – including in the form of Leibniz ScienceCampi – as well as with industry and other partners at home and abroad. They are subject to a transparent, independent evaluation procedure. Because of their importance for the country as a whole, the Leibniz Association Institutes are funded jointly by Germany’s central and regional governments. The Leibniz Institutes employ around 21,400 people, including 12,170 researchers. The financial volume amounts to 2,3 billion euros. https://www.leibniz-gemeinschaft.de

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).
