Annual ranking of ‘Highly Cited Researchers’ by the Web of Science Group published as an indicator for outstanding research / University of Cologne represented by two biologists and five medical researchers
The University of Cologne is once again represented in the international ranking ‘Highly Cited Researchers’, which is published annually by Clarivate Analytics based on information from the publication database ‘Web of Science’. Scientists on this list are among the world's most influential one percent of their field – measured by how often their scientific publications have been cited by their peers over the last ten years (2012–2022).
This year, a total of seven UoC scientists made the list. The seven most highly cited researchers from the University of Cologne are:
Professor Dr Jens C. Brüning, Centre for Endocrinology, Diabetology and Preventive Medicine at University Hospital Cologne; Director of the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research; Research Group Leader at the CECAD Cluster of Excellence for Aging Research and the Center for Molecular Medicine Cologne (CMMC).

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).
